Info, please, on power cord burn-in

I don't think you actually mean "short" the power cord as that term implies connecting positive to ground.

If your asking how to connect several power cords together on one piece of equipment to facilitate break in, you would need some sort of adaptors to connect these together.

Are the cords your asking about the typical USA 120 Volt grounded male on one end and IEC on the other?

Opus88, I did not require the brand name. I just wanted to suggest the same as offered by others here in the form of an adaptor once we knew what type cord you were trying to connect.

Mine was the first response and with no idea what your experience level might be, my concern was you NOT short out the cord by connecting internal pins, thinking you were providing a load.

It looks as though poster number two had the same concern but was more emphatic about warning you.

For what it's worth, I understand the Fry is a very effective device. Unfortunately, I have not had an opportunity to try it. I do what Sugarbrie and Timhru suggest, plug in the new power cables and experience the break in changes so I can learn from the experience.

However, I've read reports that old interconnects and power cords, assumed to be fully broken in, still benefit from the Fry break in device. It and Darma cooker have the reputation as the best two ways to go.
