Furutech AC Receptacles

Be aware of the extremely long break in required for the Furutech GTX-D and R/G AC receptacles to settle in and sound good. 300 to 600 hours, but in my opinion well worth the wait. If possible use some other means to break them in other than installation in your audio system.

wylmars, in my opinion, I believe you would be better off running your refrigerator, if not possible then a fan, for burn-in purposes. Lamps will work but not my first two choices.

@Hdm; Long time no see, how have you been?

@pbnaudio, have you ever installed a new cryoed outlet or the Furutech GTX-D (Rhodium) outlet?

Your system and room looks beautiful and I'll bet it sounds great!
What outlets do you use?

There are many that have and have documented (here on Audiogon) the changes that occur during the long break-in period.

Imaginary? I don’t think so.

I agree, in all audio forums there are always going to be those that voice their opinion without having used the product. Based on speculation or theory they state a thought they have and/or believe. Some time theory is correct and other times theory does not apply to a situation. 
You also make an excellent point, perhaps their equipment isn't as revealing as they think it is, or perhapes they don't have a good ear for music.

Great idea!

@chipdelacalzada, IMO the largest and best change you will hear is going to be with the Furutech GTX-D Gold receptacle.
The receptacle, mounts, and plates will be a very minor improvement.

If you go back to page one I was the second person to respond to this thread. Remember:  "Be aware of the extremely long break-in required for the Furutech GTX-D and R/G AC receptacles to settle in and sound good. 300 to 600 hours, but in my opinion well worth the wait.

Also, the suggestion made by hdm:  "Refrigerators and Chest Freezers are still the best home option for burning in receptacles. It has much more to do with the surge when the compressor kicks in, which will very often exceed 15 amps for a very short period of time. This will get you much better results than the continuous operation of an appliance that might draw 5 amps continuously.
2 weeks on each half of the receptacle should get you pretty good results.
Something like the Audiodharma Cable Cooker will be even better; if you have a dealer that has one it is a no brainer to pay a few extra bucks to have them burned in before shipping".

I agree that the long wait is ridiculous, but many people are willing to do that. I, on the other hand, put the outlets on my Audiodharm Cable Cooker and forgot about the (purposely) for 30 days. Installed them into my wall outlets and they sounded constantly good.
