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

Hi Audiolabyrinth.
I will be very curious about your test.It will be of great help to many audiophilers including me. Many thanks!Cheers.Raf

Rafael0054, wow!, glad I listened to you!, The oddest thing happened between the Furutech GTX-D Gold and Rhodium on my Krell 700cx amp, The Rhodium sounded better in every way but one, and I mean one, important part of the sound, The Gold had better, bigger, fuller, lower bass than the Rhodium on the amp, I do not understand this, the bass was way better on the digital player with the Rhodium, it's like I had a bass suck out, half notes of the bass, I am going to run more test!, I am going to put the both of these Furutech GTX-D Rhodium and Gold on the entire system for the first time today, the Rhodium that clearly is better in every way on the tube/solid state hybred digital, and the Gold on the Krell amplifier, see what happens, again, I ask everyone, has anyone mixed the two version's before with success?

Hi dear fellows.It´s being 200 hours of using Furutech FI 11 N1 Gold AC connector.I Must say that it has broken in completely.In the process of burn in there was many ups and downs, very common in these type of connectors,pacience must be needed.As a final conclusion I must say that the improvements respect of the original wattgate brass connector were:Better definition, deeper soundstage, darker background, better silences between the sounds,bigger mids (specially in voices), very listenable 2nd plane of instruments, relaxed listening and very musical sound.You have the possibility to get more info that was ^hidden^ in your music, So A+ for Furutech FI 11 N1 G!!I have something important to add;when terminating cables with Furutech connectors....make sure you don`t leave soldered ends in the conductors of cable.I have my PAD Musaeus with soldered ends and the tin in the end of the wires maked contact with Furutech´s clamps(in the original wattgate connector they didn´t make contact to the clamps) so it was not a proper contact for seeing all the potential of the FI 11 N1 G connector.So I cuted the soldered ends and reassembled the connectors to the wire in a way that only the copper filaments of cable made contact with Furutech´s clamps.The result was inmediately listenable: more openess, clearness and better soundstage.So take it into account when terminating your cables.Another important point is to clean all the contacts with isoprophilic alcohool before adjusting the clamps.These improves also the conductivity of materials by eliminating dirt.I hope it will be of help to others audiophiles.Best regards!keep in touch!Raf

Awsome review!, thankyou Rafael0054, your an asset to the community, very detailed and informative, cheers.
