At first, I was a bit disappointed. The Extreme Piggy Tail was obviously better than the adapter I initially used, but I could tell it needed some burn-in. And did it ever. I put it on my Hagerman Frycorder, checking occasionally. But it was not til it passed around 300 hours that I felt it had reached its full potential. It may not equal my stupidly expense "cork-sniffer deluxe" power cord, but the Extreme Piggy is extremely good for its price.
