recipe for seasoning power cords


A recent addition to my mix is a pair of PS Audio Plus p/cs.I have a pair of adaptors too so that I can hook the cords up daisy chained to my refrigerator outlet. What do you feel is the optimum time to break in the cords using this method? Thanks for reading!

I agree with what everyone has said. It's the ebb and flow of current that seasons a powercord. If you don't want to leave your refrigerator or freezer doors open, leave the power cord in-line for 3-4 weeks. The owner of Elrod power cords told me this when I was breaking in one of his power cords. He reccomended a freezer, but a frige probably works just as well. Hope this helps. Stan
Readster belongs to the Butch Cassidy school of thought. (From the movie- Butch Cassdy and the Sundance Kid. Sundance-"Well Butch, Ya think ya used enough dynamite?" This is after they both watch half a train mail car disintegrate into small pieces.) Great Movie!
Addendum to my first post: The owner of Elrod Power cords said nothing about an open frige door. He said leave the power cord in-line for 3-4 weeks on a freezer, but he said, a refrigerator would probably work well too. This is the first I've heard about leaving the door open. I guess it won't hurt the cord, I don't know about the frige.
