FRYBABY2 Compact Burn-in Generator
4
Operation
The FryBaby2's control knob sets the mode of operation. MC selects an output level
suitable for driving moving coil phonostage inputs (-60dB), MM for moving magnet
phonostages (-40dB), and ON for everything else (line level). The internal LED blinks
at the rate of modulation.
There are two modes of cable burn-in, voltage and current. Both are required for
maximum effectiveness.
Voltage Mode
In voltage mode the cable dielectric is excited by electric fields. Leave the far end of
the cable open-circuited (see diagrams in following section).
Current Mode
In current mode, the cable is short circuited, and conductors are exercised via
magnetic fields. Short-circuit the far end of the cable or form a loop by returning the
cable to the other FryBaby2 output. Current mode is not applicable when using the
FryBaby2 to burn in amplification.
Duration
It is best to do a voltage burn for 24 hours followed by a current burn for 48 hours.
Note: silver conductors typically take twice as long!
