Breaking of Furutech's AC connectors...??

I have FI-11 terminations on all my PC's and I stand by my assertion that those kind of break-in times are ridiculous(200-400 hrs). At least that is my experience.

Hi dear fellows.I respect what Michelzay says about the improvements in sound performances he heard in his audio system within the time( 200 hours later).For me ears and memory toghether can detect so tiny details that possible can`t be mesured by any device.Another important issue is that in some audio systems this tiny things can`t be appreciated so evidently as they are system dependant.So again each person with his audio system may have very differents experiences.So, let`s be open-minded and respect others audiophile`s experiences.At least that is my point of view.Have a nice day!Cheers!Raf

I'm not saying anyone else is wrong or that I am right.
I am only communicating my own experience.

I have been building my own PCs and settled on the Furutech FI-11, both R and G, after experimentation. My cabling is either bulk Neotech (NEP-3200, NEP-3001, NEP-3002) or Furutech (FP-Alpha-3).

I haven't re-terminated any manufacturer's pre-built power cables so no experience with that.

Rja.Thanks for clarifying..It's ok.No problem.Just for curiosity.Which are the differences in sound performances between the neotech cables series and the furutech cable using the same FI-11 G connectors?Many thanks for your comments.Raf

dear fellows, Regarding cables (power, Ic, Speaker) and audio system matching, there is no any objective rules. The sound/quality improvement terms are subjective matters. It is not an exact science and It is all system dependent! Everybody express its own experience and Everything is based on Test-Try.

For FI-11N(G), even after 30-40 hours of break-in time, sound was not bad at all. However, much more improvements began to manifest gradually. In my system, after ~200 hours I heard more details and more dynamic with layered soundstage. at that time, my hesitation between Gold and Rhodium connector was removed! I use Rhodium connectors from Wall to Power conditioners with a great result and then after it is all Gold connectors. I tried Gold-Gold connector, Rhodium-Rhodium, G-R scenario too but I was not pleased with the results. my taste on sound quality parameters could be different compared to others!

As Raf mentioned, results could be different in some other systems depending to source component, pre-amp, amp and their connecting cables.

I look forward to read Raf's experience regarding changed sound parameters from original PAD power cord connectors (I guess it was Wattagte Brass) to Fi-11G. please let us know your impressions...
cheers,
Michel
