What use to burn in power cords?

Audio envy - dang!
@nutty I don’t own any regular OE expanded.  I did compare it (on my tube preamp) to an OE elite 3 and the expanded with ground upgrade is much better it all ways.  Cap told me that he highly recommended the ground upgrade and it is well worth it....
