Power cord break-in tips?

VAC 160i, Modwright Oppo 105, Garrard 301 Bob's devices step up, Harbeth HL5+.
RCA's Purist, speaker cables Auditorium. Power cables Purist and Acrolink.
The new cable arrived today it will not fit my TV. I connected it to a PC that runs 24-7. I'll hook the new PC to the VAC Saturday it should have about 70+ hours on it then.
Thanks for all the suggestions folks!
 

Wear a ski mask and only use on glass . It will not work on wood or metal .

I agree with Dave.   If you're interested, make notes as to the different results from minute to minute.

OP-

what gear is in your system, including cabling?

This is silly....put the freakin cord on your equipment and play music.  I hope you got an MIT Oracle or Transparent MM2....sheer bliss!

Interesting- guys. I have always wanted to demo Elrod cabling.
Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

I use the fridge, too (with an IEC to 3 prong adaptor), and I give it a couple of weeks.  I have an Audiodharma Cable Cooker 2.5, and I find the fridge to be better for power cords (this is cooking Elrod power cords, which need a lot of break in, IME).

@brf , that is why they make adapters like this:

The problem with using most appliances as a power cable burn-in donor is that most appliance don't have an iec power connection.

mid40sguy:

The Plasma TV is a good choice as it uses about 300 watts. Your power cord needs a good five days with current going thru it.
It will then take 3-5 days to settle in with your amp. If you know of a local person with a Audio Dharma Cable Cooker do whatever it takes to borrow it. It will fully condition the cable better than anything else.

Enjoy your new cable.

I usually break them in on a 20 cu ft refrigerator.
It runs 24/7 and draw lots of power.

The food in the fridge usually tastes better too. ;^)

Put it on the TV great break in idea.
