Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long

Sharing my experience with a recent install of a pair of Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Duplexes; GTX Wall Frames; and 106-D NCF Outlet Covers.

Having read this thread as well as others regarding break-in for the NCF(R) duplexes, I was expecting a long and wild ride.

This has not been the case. After about 2.5 hours sound quality settled and has incrementally improved since, with the exception of some weirdness with vocals on day 1 and day 2.

I have not experienced the variance others have reported.

I have been playing music through the system for 14 to 16 hours a day followed by a 10 to 8 hour break, though there is some draw through the outlets during the down time.

My system is highly transparent (read: resolving... mentioning this to address a point from earlier in the thread regarding low-resolving systems).

The outlets have about 220 total hours on them (as of now). Assuming 60% playtime, accounts for 132 of the total hours (an approximate figure).

The outlets were in their original packaging. In other words, no prior burn-in.

May I ask if you have experienced further changes to the sound after 400 hours or so? 220 hours is quite far off the 300 hour mark where I perceived a sudden significant jump in performance with the outlet.

As echoed by others, this GTX-D NCF outlet is the best I’ve experienced in my system. I do not have the privilege of trying other premium outlets but this one combined with good power cords truly transformed my system.

@ryder   Incremental improvement, only...since my previous post.

Certainly no 'jumps' in performance.

Approximately 340 hours of additional active play time since my post on 9/30. Therefore, just under 500 hours as of today. Total draw time is approaching 800 hours.

My previous experience with the same NCF outlet was very different (read...not as impressed). However, that was the receptacle only implemented in a power supply. 

I currently have two of the bundled outlet sets. I will be adding two more bundle sets.

Reminds me of an old joke...new car buyer asks how long will her car take to break in?...dealer says...by the time the engine blows--she’s well broken in!
