wow, I should go kick their asses for that load

I especially liked:

Does longer conditioning time mean better performance? Can I over-Cook my cables? Will they be damaged?

Over-Cooking can reduce the performance, at least temporarily. The characteristics of this are a reduced or diminished soundstage and a dull, lifeless quality to the music. If this situation occurs, merely letting the cables physically rest, and settle, then putting them back in the music system to play for a few hours brings them back to their optimal performance level. Over-Cooking does NOT do any damage to the cabling whatsoever. Again, incremental listening tests are highly recommended to avoid over-Cooking one’s cables.

Ironically, someone recommended that over on AudioAsylum today.

An "Industry Rep" said that not only do you have to cook your cables, you have to keep doing it because over time the effects wear off. Cables don't stay in a static state...

Really, I didn't know that. :D:suicide-santa:

I don't touch cable arguments with a 20-foot pole...although it's fun...

I should take pictures of me cooking an RCA cable on the stove, do it step by step and take pictures...:D

Even do it multiple ways too...baking, stir-fry...

Well, either I go to sleep in a couple hours and be fucked for this quiz today, or stay up and probably still be fucked for it anyway.

Not having my 8am isn't really helping :(

I kind of want to go visit their store in Phoenix and demand scientific evidence that it does something.

Scientific evidence is not something you will get.

Grilling would definitely do something :D

How do you like your interconnects? Medium? Medium-rare?

Little bit of copper in the middle, thanks :)

You would probably suffer the same fate I did when I switched out the cables in the listening room at circut city for a blind test . After the dude guessed wrong 10 out of 10 times ( he knew which side of the a/b box the monster cables were on, that is until I switched them ). They quickly escorted me out the door :)

I guess drafts are suposed to help you with being more studious, but I really never have done one.
