The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"

According to one cable seller

"The insulation (or dielectric) will absorb energy from the conductor when a current is flowing (i.e. when music is playing). This energy-absorption causes the dielectric's molecules to re-arrange themselves from a random order into a uniform order. When the molecules have been rearranged, the dielectric will absorb less energy & consequently cause less distortion."

So it’s the plastic polymer (as dielectric insulation) to undergo some sort of molecular rearrangements to minimize the distortion. Probably one of the greatest scientific discoveries ever!

“Many premium AC cords constrict or compress the audio transient as their characteristic impedance restricts the transient current.”

We all know impedance restricts current but how possibly “many” premium AC cords constrict/compress the audio transient (when not carrying audio signal)? Then again is it achieved by this molecular rearrangements of the cable insulation?

Unfortunately there are no measurement data or mathematical formulas to be found to back up this amazing scientific discovery. Simply “it happens”. So I came up with a formula for them.

∆E = P - SoT

∆E: energy absorbed by dielectric

P: energy (power) drawn from wall outlet

So : Smake Oile

T: Dielectric Transition Temperature

 Tesla is probably my favorite innovator, who (despite the incessant, projectile vomit, from his day's naysayers), took the World, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, with his inventions.

I agree! He was one of the greatest electrical engineers/physicists/inventors who ever lived... all of his work done based on science/engineering principles. What if he were still alive would he ever want to know about all these snake oil DBS/articulation console/network box and cable burn-in and power conditioners and tweaks. He would scream "i don't do snake oil"

I actually want to learn more about the dielectric bias system. Where can I get its data sheet and an actual sample? It may really work... a real magic oil lamp that takes us on a magic carpet ride.

       @classicrockfan -

                                Ever use a non-contact circuit tester?

      They function because an electromagnetic field is formed around circuitry/a conductor, when a voltage potential is applied, whether an actual circuit is completed, or not.

"I actually want to learn more about the dielectric bias system*.

      Review the first paragraphs, of my first post to this thread, for my understanding/postulations, on how *such might work (according to modern electrical theory).

       As to whether the MPC wallwarts/system, such as attached to my Main amps' interconnects and power purifier's PC, would make a profound improvement to your listening experience/ears; you're welcome to stop over, if ever in the Indianapolis area. 

       They're among the easiest things to A/B test on the planet.

Of course I know exactly how it works and I do have one. I got my master degree in EE from one of the best engineering colleges in the nation. Your description is not quite right. Electric and magnetic fields are present around any electrical circuit.Also an electromagnetic field can be formed when charged particles are accelerated. We don't use any "electrical theory" in modern electrical engineering. From their website "by keeping a constant electrostatic field on an insulation material... the molecules of the material are polarized reducing the misbehavior ...the insulation can't absorb new energy" Seriously rodman99999 none of the above makes sense a good example of pseudo-science. Of course if i ever visit Indianapolis... i will be honored.
