I do believe that cables settle down and improve with use, particularly those with new solder joints. This little Hagerman gadget looks to me like something worth having in the accessories box. Has anyone out there tried one?

Nope never tried one, but at the same time this product is from a real engineer and not some foo peddler. Huge respect for Hagerman products am currently using a Bugle 2 and previously used a HagUSB.

I've ordered one.

+1 being a user (and assembler) of the Bugle 2 and Cornet 3. That makes it more of a surprise to me to see such a respected engineer going down the cable "burn in" device selling route (ducks below battlements and looks for escape hatch...)

I'm afraid I agree - what exactly does it do to achieve this cable 'burn in'?

So other cable burners were just cobbled together by elves in shoe boxes were they?

I own a nordost vidar but its only used for new sold cables, why would anyone want a cable burner for personal use un-less they change their cables as often as their underpants? :lol:

Because I've been making up my own cables recently; and this thing is cheap enough to take a punt. As stated earlier, I remain convinced about cable running-in effects, so this is a small Christmas present to myself.

how much is it then ?

[Ammonite Audio]

$219 ready built, or $169 in kit form. It's on Hagerman's website.

Would be very interested in trying one sometime if there was a UK supplier

There are a good few US suppliers of things we want that deliver promptly to the UK with no hassle at all. If you're interested, should be a perfectly safe bet to order directly.

because when one swaps cables a lot its nice to get them up to speed fast and I can`t afford a vidar dave !!!
