i thought u were kidding about the cablefryer, what a joke? do people actually buy those things or what? what real difference does a 1000 power cable do anyways, wouldnt a person just be better using hospital grade outlets...and they are much cheaper then $$$ power cables

Sam,

Worse than the chicken fryer are the $5300.00 per meter cables, that my friend has to win an award.

Cable Burn-In... Do It Yourself!

The Hagerman FryBaby is the latest consumer/professional burn-in generator. It’s the most effective, compact and affordable device we have tried to burn-in you cables and components. The FryBaby can be powered with either an internal 9V battery or the supplied wall-wart power supply.

This new device generates a complex waveform, all in analog! This scientifically designed waveform comprises a wideband Gaussian noise source that is amplitude modulated by a low frequency swept triangle wave, thus providing complete audio bandwidth burn without any fixed frequency components. Both magnetic and electric fields are employed during the burn-in process via current and voltage mode operation, thereby providing maximum conditioning.

The FryBaby is designed to condition and break-in interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, digital and video cables, tonearm wiring or any type of wire used in an audio system. In addition, FryBaby can output a line level voltage signal for conditioning of linestages and amplifiers. The output level control selects an output amplitude suitable for both line level and RIAA corrected phonostages, both MM and MC. This flexibility makes FryBaby an all-around audio system break-in tool. Included is an audio CD with a recording of the FryBaby signal, used for CD players and transport break-in. Our highest recommendation!

Features:
• Break-in Cables or Electronics
• Connector Adapters Included
• Portable, Battery Powered
• Audio CD Sends the Signal to Components
• Wall wart (USA/Canada Voltage)
I love that: "All in analog". Absolutely priceless.

I guess one needs the newer more expensive version for digital cables? :D

Equally amazing is some of the stuff in the Acoustic Sounds (er, are there other kinds of sounds?) catalog. They have the usual array of pointy things for your component feet, $3500 LP washers, and tube amps that cost more than a new Lexus. My favorite is the $9000 phono cartridge. Man, where do they find people to fall for that stuff?:eek:

Hey, that is a great idea:D But, I think the market will bear a bit higher retail, $99.98, or more?

I too thought the original post may have been about mapleshade and I agree that you can safely dismiss pretty much everything they sell as audio voodooo.
I really like their cables covered with nothing, but Saran Wrap:D

Ever try the Russer Maple ham? There are others, but that's the best one, IMO, except for one kind they sell for like 10 bucks a pound at a fancy store during the holidays. Now that stuff is unreal.

Awesome, great with pancakes and anything else. I particularly like it on a nice hunk of garlic bread...mmmm.
