Hi dear fellows.It´s being 200 hours of using Furutech FI 11 N1 Gold AC connector.I Must say that it has broken in completely.In the process of burn in there was many ups and downs, very common in these type of connectors,pacience must be needed.As a final conclusion I must say that the improvements respect of the original wattgate brass connector were:Better definition, deeper soundstage, darker background, better silences between the sounds,bigger mids (specially in voices), very listenable 2nd plane of instruments, relaxed listening and very musical sound.You have the possibility to get more info that was ^hidden^ in your music, So A+ for Furutech FI 11 N1 G!!I have something important to add;when terminating cables with Furutech connectors....make sure you don`t leave soldered ends in the conductors of cable.I have my PAD Musaeus with soldered ends and the tin in the end of the wires maked contact with Furutech´s clamps(in the original wattgate connector they didn´t make contact to the clamps) so it was not a proper contact for seeing all the potential of the FI 11 N1 G connector.So I cuted the soldered ends and reassembled the connectors to the wire in a way that only the copper filaments of cable made contact with Furutech´s clamps.The result was inmediately listenable: more openess, clearness and better soundstage.So take it into account when terminating your cables.Another important point is to clean all the contacts with isoprophilic alcohool before adjusting the clamps.These improves also the conductivity of materials by eliminating dirt.I hope it will be of help to others audiophiles.Best regards!keep in touch!Raf
