Albertporter only needs 50

Day Four.
72 hours of burn in with the fans and or equiptment running.(I used a calculator this time!) Good news, the bass is coming back, not fully yet but getting better all the time! What else is happening is a 3-D sound that, hell may be 4-D! They do blow away my old outlets now. May be, just a hint of grain or roughness, but I won't call it harsh anymore. I can't wait to hear the next phase of burn in. The textural subtlties and delicate spacial cues are starting to come through like never before. I hope some of you other guys are burning yours already. I want to hear what you think. I am going to leave the fans running 24/7 for a while yet.

First, Thank you Albert Porter for working with everyone in getting the "Porter Port". Or maybe the "Al-tlet"?

Thanx Maxgain for your daily updates, I look forward to reading them. I have had mine in for about 24 hours, it replaced a stock outlet. Right off the bat, much better than stock. There is a harshness about it, but I can already hear better dynamics and soundstage. Looking forward to going through the burn-in process to hear it keep getting better, until it is s-m-o-o-t-h!

Listen to the Psychic...

USE YOUR REFRIGERATOR!!!

Make a jig with an electrical box and run your fridge through each receptacle at least four days. The fridge draws a lot more current than a fan and each time it starts it sends a decent spike.

Day Five.
96 hours of burn in.
Now we are getting somewhere! The system seems to be able to negotiate complex passages better than ever. Everything is more focused than before and can sort things out that blured together with the old outlets. Extension of the high end is back to normal. I can hear more breath of the vocals and more decay of ambiance. Imaging is locked in with more specific space for individual instruments and voclas. I am hearing a gain in transparency that connects me to the space the music takes place in more than ever. These improvments are letting me get to the emotive, affective aspects of the music like never before. The low bass still lacks a bit of weight though. The bass in general doesn't yet have quite as much punch and the mid bass is still a bit "poofy" compared to the old outlets. I am beginnig to think that this (the bass) will be one of the last aspects of the burn in to fall into place.
As I listen the changes are getting more subtle as time goes on. This may be the last of the 24 hour interval updates. I will keep reporting as things happen. I hope the rest of you have as much fun with these as I am having.I hope to read some of your findings even if you don't hear it as I do, as always. Thanks again to Albert.

I have been following Maxgain's reports with some interest. We had our outlets installed at roughly the same time and my experiences have been roughly parallel. I have left the 2 channel system alone. I intend to give it a week to break in.

I have instead concentrated on the HT. Day 1, the bass was very muddy. Day 2 and 3, I noticed a great deal of pixelation coming from the satellite. This has now smoothed out rather nicely. The sound continues to get tighter and more focused. I agree that the bass will probably be the last thing to settle down.

Once they are properly broken in, I plan to run dedicated lines.
