As usual, great advice Romy.
Cables…. It is all depends of the cable and current.
At it's highest 2.5V setting, the FryKleaner Pro passes ~25mA current. I don't know if it scales proportionally for the lower 0.78V & 0.25V settings at ~8mA or ~0.25mA. I usually use the lowest setting for interconnects and the highest for speaker cables.
Interesting that if it a component or a cable was not used
for a long time then the ‘formatting” should start form scratch.
I'm not sure unused cables need to be burned in again, just that it is simple to do, so why not?
line-level interconnects need ~200 hours...phono-level need >
1000hours... So the
40-50 hours that Jim commented was a good period to have juts initial
first improvement but then there is a longer tail of “formatting
misery”….
I never considered that long of a break in. I haven't been able to log too many continuous hours on my system in the last 6 months because of work and house fixing. This weekend
I will series connect my line-level cables and set the FryKleaner to
it's lowest setting (0.25V) for 10 days to see how big a change
results. Then, maybe a little longer. Should be a nice learning experience.
