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

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 .

Audiolabyrinth, what is the gauge of your in wall AC wiring; 12 or 10 gauge? I ask regarding the comment I made in the HFC forum.

Hi Lak, not sure for the digital it is 12 or 10 and the gauge for my amp is 10.

If you don't want to go through the break-in, take the receptacle and exchange it with the receptacle that your refrigerator or chest freezer runs on.

Run the freezer or fridge into each half of the receptacle for about 2 weeks (one month in total) and then slot it back into your system.

You'll be shocked at how different things sound after doing that. And it still may take 3-4 days to really settle down and get to 100% in your system following that.

Furutech cryogenically treats everything. The break in is an ugly process.
