Before you do another job, don't sacrifice your reputation. Get your
cables "burned in".

If enough people send them a message, maybe we can convince them to make a
model specially adapted for microphone cable. Of course, this would mean
additional research, as it is obvious that a different type of burn-in is
necessary for dynamic and condensor microphones...

Burning in cables is much more critical for those of us in the Seattle area
because it takes longer initially to get the moisture out of the copper.
I've had an especially difficult time burning in my lavaliere mic cables.
Seems to take months for the lavs to reach their full sonic potential and
I've had nothing but bad luck with baking them in my oven. (actually melted
a tram head!) The Countryman lavs seem to hold up to burning-in better for
me.

Now this is pure bunk. Anybody with an acetylene torch can do this in a few

minutes. You just need a sufficient quantity of mineral oil to sink the heat at
the far end. I forget the exact formula but I think its 150ml of mineral
oil/meter of cable, up to #18 AWG, then 250ml/M to #12AWG.
