Anybody have a source and approximate price? Thanks for the interest.

I had two of my power cords sent to Jena Labs and they were excellent! Two days plugged to my fridge got them started and ten more days did the trick. I don't think a commercially available cable cooker can match a refrigerator for this particular job.
Maxgain, I use a PS Audio Juice Bar I'm not using at the moment. I live by myself and have found out that 12 days is perfect. I would assume if one has family opening the fridge several times a day the burn in time could be reduced to six or seven days. I can't see a cable cooker being more effective than a fridge at burning in power cords.

I do plan to make my own box, as I'm ordering some Acme cryoed IEC terminals for my line level components. Just somethig cheap yet electrically safe.
That's the place in Downers Grove I was trying to find out for Sean and Bob Bundus!

It's not--I use it for burning in power cords--although I ran each of its receptacles through the fridge for four days.

I'll say it again: I just can't see a little cable cooker outperforming a fridge. The motor draws a lot of current, throws some heavy duty spikes when it starts and it's free. I remember that someone posted right here about using a vacuum cleaner for burning in power cords. He had made a jig for fitting the IEC. He reported *outstanding* results with just 1/2 hour...

Why is it that one "has" to "buy" specific products? Me? I side with the DIY brigade.
