Can Cooking cables with network boxes (such as MIT & Transparent Audio) damage them in any way?
Transparent cabling seems to do just fine on the Cable Cooker. However, a couple of customers have told us that MIT cabling simply doesn’t work. Somehow, the way they are wired, or whatever is inside of the boxes seems to “short” the power supply of the Cooker. There is NO damage whatsoever. The power supply just shuts down, as it doesn’t like what it sees from the cabling. The switching DC power supply we chose for the Cable Cooker is very sensitive to current and voltage aberrations (this is a very good thing), and protects the internal circuitry very nicely. So, no harm… no foul. The MIT cabling doesn’t get damaged, and neither does the Cooker. Other than an RCA-to-XLR hybrid cable (which also has a wiring topology the DC power supply doesn’t “like”), the MIT cabling seems to be the “only” brand of cable not compatible with the Cooker. What else can the Cable Cooker break-in other than cables? Some manufacturers are using the Cable Cooker to break-in transformers, capacitors, and
