THE BEST IS BETTER THAN EVER....accept no substitute

audiodharma CABLE COOKER™

The Anniversary Edition, featuring Cardas binding posts, is shipping!

Please read Myles Astor's new review of the Cable Cooker Pro
on Positive Feedback Online!

After many years of outstanding performance, we have pushed the design envelope
and configured just the right combination to create a perfectly linear circuit
 that more than doubles the previous sweep at both ends of the spectrum....quite an achievement.
The EFS, of course, compliments the high voltage/high current components of the signal.

The swept square wave now starts at 0 DC and is calibrated at just over 40KHz,
 whereas the previous sweep started at just below 40Hz and reached 18.5KHz.
 
Listening tests and comparisons were performed,
and the new Extended Frequency Sweep improves on every sonic parameter.
    This new circuit translates into more transparency and dimensionality,
a deeper/wider soundstage, and deeper & tighter bass information.

As of 1/1/09, all Cable Cookers ship with the new Extended Frequency Sweep (EFS) circuit.

As of 6/1/09, full cryogenic treatment of the circuit board, all chassis connectors, switches, and internal wiring
 is included with the Standard Plus and Pro versions, and available as an upgrade option for the standard version.
  Note: this cryogenic upgrade (available for all 2.0 & 2.5 Cable Cooker owners) is as sonically significant
 as the EFS circuit upgrade, and the benefits are cumulative.

The EFS circuit and full cryogenic treatment is available as a retrofittable upgrade
 to all Cable Cooker 2.5 owners for $175. 

As of 7/1/09, high-quality Cardas ACBP binding posts are available as an upgrade to the Pro version,
and are standard issue with the Anniversary Edition Cable Cooker.

FACTORY DIRECT PRICE
 $789 for the Standard Plus version and $879 for the Pro version.
 The Anniversary Edition, featuring Cardas ACBP binding posts, is $999.
(premium Cardas CCGR binding posts are available as a $90 upgrade)
Plus $16 insured shipping within the continental U.S.

Stereophile Recommended Component for 3 Years Running

• THE CABLE COOKER™ 2.5 GREATLY IMPROVES the sound quality of all forms of interconnect (including A-V and phono), speaker cabling,  AND power cabling beyond any normal break-in cycle.
• RAPID, SUPERIOR BREAK-IN AND CONDITIONING....breaks in more thoroughly because the cabling is exposed to extreme signal levels and a special waveform that does not occur in normal system operation.
• SOPHISTICATED, HIGH-EFFICIENCY, CONTINUOUS DUTY CIRCUIT supplies in excess of 1 watt for interconnects and 22 watts for speaker and power cabling, in addition to a highly dynamic extended-frequency sweep.
• UNIVERSALITY OF USE ... allows break-in and conditioning of interconnects, speaker cabling, and power cabling simultaneously.
• INTERNATIONAL COMPATIBILITY... universal switching power supply may be used on any continent....usable with all line voltages from 90VAC to 260VAC, and AC input frequencies from 47Hz to 63Hz.
• CUSTOM ADAPTORS available for daisy chaining power cables and speaker cables.
• DESIGNED & MANUFACTURED IN THE U.S.A ... BUILT TO LAST
• TWO-YEAR FULLY-TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY (parts & labor)

Pro version shown below.

Thanks again for the phono cable adaptor!
 Still hard to believe the difference burning in the cables can make even after having been doing just that for over three years.  The phono cable may be the single biggest improvement in cable burn in yet. You've heard that before I am sure.
....Best, Steve

"I am happy to report that the cable cooker was just magical!!  How you do it, I do not know.
What amazes me is how can ANYONE buy cables and not buy the Cooker.  Alan, I seriously think you should publicize more about the products.
No audiophile should carry on listening without pre-cooking their cables.  It is as simple as that for me!!!
Thank you once again for the excellent service. I wish you the best for your ventures."
....Regards, Dr. Afzal Khan

The cooker is working superbly for me, and is truly indispensable.
  The interconnects I am making need at least four days on the Cooker - I haven't tried any longer than that yet.
  They certainly sound good after four days and don't exhibit any of the downsides of over-Cooking,
 but I shall try a slightly longer burn soon and see what happens.
  The sound does get better over the next 2 to 3 days but nothing like the variation I experienced with the 3 day burn.
  With a four day burn my customers all report that the sound is beautifully balanced,
 with the small added caveat that the top end opens up just a bit after a couple of days.
....Mark Jenkins/Antipodes Audio

I received the phono din adaptor cable today. It's exactly what
I was hoping and looking for. Easy instructions and perfect!  I will soon
be burning in some of my phono cables AND tonearm wire. This sort of device
has been long overdue in terms of needfulness. Thanks very much.
....Jeff Lee

Chris and I are always shaking our heads at people who don’t try the Cable Cooker.
And then they have the temerity to complain that their cables don’t sound right. 
I’ll say this again.  Analog fans, especially, need to get a Cable Cooker.
  They simply have no idea how good their turntables can sound.
  They have no idea that the tiny tonearm wires are holding back the music.
......John Lum

My colleagues and I have used the Cable Cooker on hundreds of cables.
  Having done so, we can’t fathom how other people refuse to acknowledge or try the Cable Cooker.
If they haven’t used a Cable Cooker, they do not know how a cable truly performs.
  It doesn’t matter if I’m Cooking the Antares or the throwaway patch cord that came with my DVD player.
The Cooker works the same on both.
......John Lum

"The unit is fantastic. As all of my interconnects and cables (speaker and power) were previously broken in (or so I thought),
I was astounded at the results. Dynamics better, frequency extremes better, more detail. I love it. Very easy to use."
......Thanks again, Jon

"Well done! I love it, I could not imagine adding a cable for evaluation that has not been Cooked. 
Feel free to quote me."
......Rick Schultz of Virtual Dynamics

“Thanks for making a GREAT product, that delivers an unparalleled audio value, transformed my Bybee filter, and metamorphosized my Richard Gray.”
……Mark Hampton of Zcable

 “More refined (less edgy which I previously didn't notice), greater transparency,
 air/space, low-level detail and ease of presentation. Kudos for a definite winner!!”
……Jim Ricketts of tmh audio

“I am most impressed.  My vinyl has never sounded better!!"
……A.D. Banerjei

The Cable Cooker arrived safely some days ago. Meanwhile, for the beginning,
I have cooked all my interconnects. The result is stupendous since they were already "broken in".
The beneficial effect is audible throughout the whole spectrum,
from the deepest lows to the highest highs, and spaciousness is more developed too.
I will continue to cook the power and speaker cables as well, hopefully with further improvement.
......Daniel

Was extremely pleased with the results after having all my cables cooked with the Cable Cooker.
There has been a significant improvement in definition,
soundstage and a cleaner top-end while the bass is more refined.
Many of the "definitive" recordings from the 50s & 60s, such as Klemperer's Beethoven 3rd & 5th symphonies,
have been given a new lease of life. The unit ran without a hitch.
......Anthony

The Cooker is perhaps the best single thing I've ever used in hi-end audio! I'm completely thrilled with it, and have had no problems
whatsoever in its operation. I was amazed EACH time I treated another wire, and flabbergasted when I heard the improvement to power cables. I'm unclear about how long to treat wires, but experimentation plus your and your customers' track records will, over time, probably be illuminating. Thanks for developing a "must have" device.
