1. Directional cables in my cooker. No problem on my side of the globe the water turning (draining a tub) is right, so the end of the cable must point to the right and the beginning to the left. Please note countries like Australia and New Zealand have to reverse this!
2. Gas instead of electric stove. Largely made mistake that gas won't work. The gas drives out the air in the copper, so in that way I get OFC quality with non OFC cable. Free upgrade. If cooked long enough reaches 99.9999%
3. Deionized water. Check.
4. Ionized salt. Check.

Spoiler: New chapter needed

Looks like we desperately are in need of a new chapter or information on new upcoming products. The Thread is getting more and more gibberish

God I hate all the nonsense about cables that continues to pollute audio forums. I'll come back when this has run its course. Again.

Perhaps you can 'cook up' a solution to this conundrum.

Personally I like to keep an open mind about such things, and since @bcowen was kind enough to send a cooker I will at least run some headphone cables through it. I know of Bill's ability to hear differences in different brands of tubes so I am more apt to take him seriously about such things.

During your hiatus...may I suggest a couple of movies to bide your time?

Sorry!...couldn't resist.

I agree and try to keep an open mind. I would like to hear @bcowen's comparison of 'cooking' with cryogenic treatments.

Isn't there a different thread you can talk about cooking cables? I feel like the last several pages has all been cable cooking. I know this thread is 95% noise but this is a little too much, IMO.

Yes, take it to Sound Science, or perhaps Paladin should create a new cable thread in, I don't know, a section devoted to his business?

That is fine, and maybe there are threads for motorcycles people used to own years ago, or cars, or pizza dough. Those might fall outside the realm of audio.

I'm the one that started it, so you should perhaps direct your snide comments to me.

To everyone else, apologies for getting too far off track here.

Amen, brother.

I agree, those should likely be somewhere else too. I know it's a fine balance, because the off-topic stuff gives this thread some of its personality, but at the same time, it makes it really hard to follow the posts that are relevant to the topic.

Things like tubes, cable cookers, and Schiit audio have little if anything to do with my company, those are things I work with at home as a hobby. Most know that. Johnjen has talked about cookers as well and cables are part of the audio chain so I am curious, and try to remain open minded. Come to think of it, tubes are used in a lot of Schiit gear and Jason even used some of mine in a shoot out, I highly doubt that is off topic, or I hope not anyway lol.

Oh, I have Amazon Prime too. There's no avoiding it since brick and mortar stores fail to carry so many products now...

Yep, that's the biggest reason I order online. Local stores' stock is so bad, looking for an usual item or a specific item always turns into a wild goose chase.

To B&M stores, I say, "You can't sell what you don't have!"

Groan.

But I LOL'ed anyway.

@bcowen hey there-- isn't absinthe what Telly Savalas used to drink on 'Kojak'?? and my son just gave us a Vitamix A2500 can I use that for cables? who would/could rebraid them?? or would the absinthe keep them intact?? bobbmd
