I can see it used by a manufacturer to burn in their cables so they perform well right out of the box, much like an amplifier manufacturer running amplifiers as a final quality control step, but for the average audiophile?

NO way Jose! $25,000 can buy another pre-amp -- or power amp -- or over-priced DAC or turntable -- or even an extended vacation to some exotic resort. For the audiophile that has more money then he/she can count -- he/she will buy into the the quantum physics marketing blather and believe they will reach nirvana buy treating their $20,000 cables. The theory being it will save the time and trouble with so-called upgrades costing even more cash.

Caveat Emptor!!

For Telos, it is a new product catered to a niche clientele.
New Product = New Business Opportunity
High-end audio happens to be their business line.

And yet -- an inexpensive signal generator together with an inexpensive power amp and one can provide the same therapy to cables for under $200.

And how many of us would actually need to buy another power amp to do this? Most of us have a Raspberry Pi or an old PC that could serve as the signal generator.. Free, gotta love it!

Whats wrong with this listening to music with the new cables. They will burn in a few weeks and your listing to what you want all along.
Its interesting that we come up with solutions for problems that do not exists

Not one damn thing. Besides only cables with a Teflon dielectric are the problem because of the way Teflon stores a static charge from the manufacturing process.
