Furutech Gold and Copper connector


I was wondering how long does Break-in Time of “Furutech IEC connectors” takes in order to open up and present all its potential quality. I am talking about Furutech FI-11 Gold and Copper connector series. The power cables where connectors are used with, are already broken in and sound good with their original connectors. I read in several review that Furutech cables takes up to 400 hours to break in! Is this also valid for Furutech connectors too!?

You feedback would be appreciated.
cheers,

The Oyaide F1/M1 outperforms the Furutech FI-50 with ease. I
have them both on the same Purist Audio powercable. The Oyaide
has a lot more drive/dynamics, more open mid en also more
resolution. I use the one with the Furutech for my subwoofer.

I was surprised how big the differences are. Used on a source
I had the same outcome. These days I only buy Purist Audio
powercables ( by far the best in the world) with F1/M1
connectors!

Always go for the best possible, the rest doensn't matter!!
I also have a Purist Audio Powercable with Oyaide 004. These I also prefer over the Furutech. Next year I will sell the Furutech plugs. Oyaide is a very lazy company with slow delivery. The people who are distributers of Oyaide dislike the company. Often I have to say no to my clients!!

which Furutech GTX-D Gold or Rhodium put the vocals further into the room and sound fuller?

Last week, I made another experience regarding Rhodium vs. Gold Ac connectors. I put back again my AQ Volcano (Copper) speaker cables (instead of AQ Meteor Silver) and some copper interconnects (instead of AQ SKY silver) that I have. With Fi-11 gold AC connectors, the sound was kind of dark side of warm sound and lacks a little bit the high frequencies. Even though music was alive and resolution details were present and the bass was too much pronounced. Honestly I am not a Bass freak… I put back again my Dynamic Design power cords having FI-11 Rhodium and high frequencies opened up magically with Copper interconnect/speaker cables having wider soundstage. The sound was more neutral and one could hear tiny noises out of the records.

It was a pleasant surprise which confirms the AC connector needs to be matched also with interconnect cables materials and speakers cables. Gold connectors with Silver interconnect/speaker cables and Rhodium connectors with copper interconnect/speaker cables. I continue to be amazed how Power cords and related AC connectors would impressively change my system sound. Of course, AC receptacle play a big role especially matching it with power cords. I use Tesla AC receptacle.

I ordered some Silver and Gold “iego” set AC connectors that I look forward to receive them to make new experiences with Silver connectors and compared them with Furutech. I was told Silver connectors presents the best of Gold and Rhodium, let’s see ...
