I think that any signal passing through power cords, and interconnects, and speaker cables, contributes toward the burn in process.
There is a CD-R from PAD that accelerates, and renews this process.
Also, there are Audiogon members who use specially designed gadgets to more rapidly, and maximally burn in interconnects, and speaker cables. For example, I had Marigo interconnects which I had retired, after a year of use, and they were given a new life, and their best ever performance, with the service from cableburner.com, a startup audio enterprise of George Saubon, an Audiogon member. He is currently offering a new customer discount from the usual price for this service. I even had a free burn in, in exchange for being among a handful of Audiogon pioneers, sending away valuable wiring to a previously unknown business, after spotting his ad. A clever way to get initial feedback. as long as the item, or service is truly deserving of praise, which it is.
For power cord burn in to reach maximal performance levels, there are a few sources of a plug which allows your power cord to plug into an appliance to work harder than it does in your audio system, and thus reach its full potential. Hdm mentioned purchasing a $3-4 male IEC to 3 prong adaptor directly from an electrical supply outlet, or one can order the $19.95 audiophile approved version from Joe DiMonte at 856-988-6323, or Neal at 720-308-4000, who advertise on Audiogon.
And, during the past few days, the use of Lloyd Walker's SST contact enhancer has in a matter of seconds increased the performance of any of my wiring it is applied to. A rather astounding, instantly audible improvement, from a very reputable source. This was much more obvious than the previous effect using Caig ProGold, alone. Mapleshade Records seems to be selling a similar product.
All of these sources are among those eager to accelerate your electrons, and your listening pleasure.
