Cable Cookers - should I get one?

[KPC]

I’ve read snippets of both sides for and against within other threads, but have come to no conclusion. So I’m opening up this thread on WBF with seasoned experienced members.

For better sonics, I’m trying to answer:
1) Do I need a cable cooker?
2) if so, beyond the initial, should I also include “periodic” cable cooking regimen as well?
3) is Audiodharma the best/acceptable brand?
4) if so, which of Audiodharma models here should I purchase?

I wonder if anybody has had experience with the Hagerman FryBaby3 as a cheaper option?

I had both. The Audiodharma seemed noticeably better.
