"FryBaby" Audio System Conditioner ($39 kit/2)

Available fully assembled from these fine dealers:

Order from Audio Advisor Order from Music Direct Order from Hagerman Audio Labs

FryBaby is the latest incarnation of the FryKleaner™ series of professional burn-in generator products. The FryBaby is fully self-contained in a portable housing, operating off of either an internal 9V battery or a wall wart. Completely new circuitry generates the same complex waveform of the original FryKleaner, all in analog! This scientifically designed waveform comprises a wideband gaussian noise source that is amplitude modulated by a low frequency swept triangle wave, thus providing complete audio (and then some) bandwidth burn without any fixed frequency components. Both magnetic and electric fields are employed during the burn-in process via current and voltage mode operation, thereby providing maximal conditioning.

FryBaby is designed to condition and break-in interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, digital and video cables, or any type of wire used in an audio system. In addition, FryBaby can output a line level voltage signal for conditioning of linestages and amplifiers. The output level control selects an output amplitude suitable for both line level and RIAA corrected phonostages, both MM and MC. This flexibility makes FryBaby an all-around audio system break-in tool.

Winner of Positive Feedback Writer's Choice Award 2006!

Reviewer Excerpts

"I was in a shock, that was my first reaction. This is one of the best tweaks I've ever tried ... fuller tones; more refined treble; bigger/deeper stage; instruments with a bigger body; more air; better sustain of instruments ... only after two or three seconds, it's so obvious that bass got more breath and freshness; bigger, deeper, wider and richer soundstage; more breath and body in bass; richer in the middle; warmer vocal; better sustain; you can feel and touch the singer who is here in my room ... the difference wa SO obvious and audible." - Marko Pecotic, Audiopuls

"The sound that came out of the speakers was in all aspect - BETTER. The color of sound didn't change, but colors were richer and clearer. The background of soundstage was completely dark, so it was easier to see the musicians and instruments. The character of instruments has become more natural. FryBaby is a very recommended component! Each and every serious audiophile should own it." - Robert Kocijan, Audiopuls


Customer Testimonials

  • The FryBaby also deserves mention. I burned in my Cornet with an interconnect connected and when I compared it to my other identical interconnect, there was a dramatic difference, The interconnect that was burned in with the Cornet had so much more life. Wonderful products. Your email support is also excellent.
  • I have another question regarding the FryBaby CD that I burned with the file you sent me. Now that I burned in my CD player with the disc for 2.5 days or so, the sound is much better and much smoother. The problem is, my player is a CD/SACD player, and I was only able to burn-in the redbook CD circuitry, so now the redbook CDs sound smoother and warmer than the SACDs, which is good in one way, but rather upsetting in another (I guess I never realized how bad everything sounded prior to burn-in)...
  • I've heard SO many audio tweaks, things that were announced as "revolutionary" or "best buy" or shit like that, but this little [FryBaby] that I've received from you, oh boy, I dont belive it. And I thought the sound of my system was at a very high level (it's not a cheap system)... This little FryBaby is a f###ing miracle. Guess I had now idea what my system could really sound like, until I did this. Here's what happened - two days ago, let your frybaby audio CD play on repeat for 48 hours. So this evening, I pressed stop on the cd player, pulled your frybaby CD out, turned on the amp, waited for 30 minutes till it warmed up. Please notice, now this part has shocked me the MOST - my player is not new, it has played for say 800-1000 hours by now. I have listened to three songs 2 days ago and this evening again (shostakovich, d. krall and bizet's carmen). I wont tell you about the diferencies that I've heard (I'll do that in the review - THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM, read my lips), at this moment it will be enough to say that differences were unexpected, they were SO obvious and SO audible. HUGE improvement. I didnt expect it. especially because I thought my cd player didnt need a burn in. Next thing that I'll burn is will the speaker cable.
  • I purchased the 1/2 kit Frybaby from you a week or two ago. I must say that I am both pleased and surprised by the results.
  • So far I've burned in two pairs of interconnects. There is quite a difference in the sound: improved clarity, more air, bigger soundstage, more robust bass, and improved dynamics. Overall everything is clearer and has more impact. This is a very effective device.
