Per the rotating banner on the Norne site, the Black Friday event--featuring "new releases and more specials" will start on (big surprise) the 26th. No starting time is yet indictated. Trevor is in the Pacific Time Zone.

Travor makes great stuff, but he is a complete flake when it comes to communicating with his customers. I asked him for a quote a couple weeks ago back in early November, before the Black Friday rush and I got an email that a quote was forthcoming same day (which never happened). In my prior experiences with Trevor (multiple item purchases) I had to keep bugging him to respond (delays well beyond product promise dates, and no communiction about the delays). I wasn’t going to bother this time. After a couple of weeks without a response, I ended up going elsewhere and buying an Arctic Cable. Trevor would be far more successful if he had organizational skills. He makes nice cables, but the frustration communicating with him has me doing business elsewhere henceforth. Time is valuable.

What arctic cable have you gone with?
and for which hp?

You can daisy-chain them together if you have enough connectors, so the only real limit is the connector stash. Amount of time needed varies and is dictated more by the size and thickness of the cable's dielectric than the type of cable. In general, HP cables and most interconnects do best at around 72 hours. Speaker cables and power cords about twice that long.

Here's a couple DIY power cords daisy-chained to cook at the same time:



And the Drausk Lite getting its cook:

Can you explain this setup a bit more - Looks like the power cables are plugged into the speaker output of a power amp. But if the other end of the power cable is not plugged into a load, then no current would be flowing through the cable at all. What am I missing?

Seems to me that Trevor could hire someone for a few hours a day to handle all the communications so he could focus on building cables. Then the increased cable production would more than offset the expense of the new hire. But I guess he doesn't want the added complexity...

It is a dedicated cable conditioning device. It generates its own signal which is applied to the output. Cable is attached at one end to that output and at the other end to the input which completes the circuit. Closer picture below.

8’ vygarde. Lemo connections, balanced! Should have done prntaconn, but maybe in the next one!

Nice!!

I've always enjoyed tube porn....seems I should add cable porn to the list.

That's cool. Thanks for explaining!

Got to be careful of the cable droop...you are going to get a build up of burn in a the bottom. Really should have the cable laying flat on the table to avoid hot spots!!!

Say what???????

Should have a "P" trap so all the burn-in gets stopped a the trap and does not get through to the other end. Just don't use an "S" trap as they are illegal in some areas now.

You guys are having a bit of fun with me. If you do not believe in burnin, just try it sometime. Next time you buy a decent IEM, attach it to your rig along with whatever cable that you are going to use. Listen to the new IEM and cable for 15 to 30 minutes. Next connect it to a source that can play music 24/7. After 50-60 hours, listen to the IEM/cable. Sound better? then cook it for another 4 days. Enjoy !
