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

Raf, I use recording studio grade XLR wires Mogami Silver that I paid ~$40 for each pair I needed.

Rafael0054, do the furutech products go up in performance and then down, bright to none bright and back again dureing break in?, 24 hrs on this Rhodium GTX-D, the first 19 hrs it blew the Gold out of the water in all aspects of performance, currently it turned a little bright again, may reinstall the Gold, I have a/b the both 4 to 5 times dureing this process thus far useing my tube/solid state hybred headphone amp that is in my cd-player with a real analog volume control on some nice cans to be sure I understand the entire process of burn-in and then the final out come, which some say may take 500 Hours?

Audiolabyrinth,
I know from past experience with at least 8 different outlets that there can and most likely will be variations in sound during the break in process. Leave the Rhodium GTX-D outlet in and continue to use it.
You might even want to plug a fan into the outlet and run that fan when you are not listening to your system, so it's in use 24/7.
I still have my Rhodium GTX-D outlet on my Audiodharma cable cooker.
Patience is a vertu...

Hi Audiolabyrinth.
In fact, you must be patient. During the break in process there are variations up and down in performance.It is very normal.While break in the furutech gold sometimes it seemed to me that they produced a dark tone with a lack of britghness and detail, I even put spikes under the shelf of the krell kav 300cd to get cleaner sound and few hours later the cleaneless, bright and detail appeared but there was a lack of body so I had to put the spikes off and all was in balance again.So my advice is be patient with both outlets.In some reviews it is said that for burn in outlets you need 300 hours.AC Connectors 200hours.Rhodium needs more time than gold to burn in according to reviews.At the moment I still notice improvements in my gold connectors( not reached the 150 hours yet) and the musicality stayed for good in my system and what is even more interesting the detail gets more accurate and real as well as the depth in soundstage.I`m very happy.Please give us your report about changements in both outlets.Cheers!Raf

Thankyou Lak, I am changing the Rhodium back in the wall, it does seem alot better than the Gold, I believe that outlet's may differ than plugs and IEC's, why?, I do not know?, it seems that most everyone likes the Rhodium when it comes to outlets, and Gold when it comes to plugs and IEC's, Lak, I put the Gold in yesterday because there was a screaming brightness the rhodium was going through that the wife could not stand just walking around in the house, she could hear it all the way from my head phones, I am glad all of you have said that these furutech's go up and down through break-in process, I was very alarmed there for a moment if the Rhodium was to stay bright, the day before on the Rhodium, it was incredible before it turned bright on me, over all, I am amazed of the performance of both the Rhodium and Gold Furutech GTX-D, only 24 hrs into this, I have along ways to go to get 400 to 500 on both outlets .
