Hagerman FryBaby Cable Burn-In Device
http://hagerman-audio-labs.myshopify...n-in-generator
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.

+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...)Originally Posted by Yomanze

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?

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.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?

how much is it then ?
ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
