Burn in power cord by boiling water??

I'd also suggest adding some salt, pepper, squash, potato quarters with or without shell, tomatoes squeezed or ready tomato sause, bruscelle cabage, beans, and when it's done add some optional parsley or dill, soy sause to brew nice audiophile-vegetable soup with powercord flavour.

Same could be easily done with speaker and interconnect wires.

Whatta tasty break-in isn't it?

Nice idea but not for burn-in...
Actually if we freeze cables they will greatly improve conductance i.e. kind-a get close to super-conductance!
So if we take ordinary wires and build freezers arround them we actually can get away cheaper than mega-priced Nirvanas or Nordost indeed!

For all who hears differences and wishes to pass music through PC I dedicate a simple DIY invention:

-----POWER CORD BOILER OR SIMPLY PC-BOILER----------

1. Take IEC recepticle and wire it with 1.5...2' wires hot newtral and ground 26...12AWG. I suggest using stiff wires so you can have a stable shapes of a "PC-boiler" when desired.

2. Connect newtral and ground together(either crimp or solder).

3. Take two razors and place between them 3...4 toothpicks. Use knitting threads to tie-up the structure that should look like two razors with toothpicks in between.

4. Solder one razor to a hot(polarity of razors does not matter) and another razor to a newtral/ground wires(not neccessary to use audiophile solder).

5. Place your "PC-boiler" onto the glass or cup(must be ordinary without any metal stripes inside) full of water and connect "PC-boiler IEC recepticle with IEC plug of your new "unboiled" powercord. Plug your powercord with "PC-boiler" onto the AC outlet and wait untill the water in the glass boils(1...3min). DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS OR SUGAR OR TEASPOON OR ANYTHING INSIDE THE GLASS OF WATER WHILE "PC-BOILER" IS IN ACTION!!!

6. In result you will get boiled powercord ready to be used for audio components. Unfortunately you will have to periodically change razors of PC-boiler since they get rotten and repeat steps in paragraphs 3 through 5, but with practice you will do it no less than you will boil the glass of water or even faster; it also will improve your soldering skills if you're DIY beginner.

7. A-bit more patience and thought would give you a possibility to re-arrange "PC-boiler" to the "SW-boiler" for speaker wire and use steps described in previous paragraphs. I would not recommend to implement the same with interconnect or phono wires due to the large loads you're facing. For IC and phono wires I also have a recipie that I might or mightnot reveal feel free to find out...

I'm not a specialist of reviewing audio goods, but I'm sure that my recipie can be reviewed and subjectively tested for sound improvements by many professionals and it only takes 1...3min to hear a revolutionary improvement of ANY component where boiled powercord had been used! It's all for those who hears differences!
