Furutech AC Receptacles

Thanks for this! I will look into buying a pre-cooked receptacle from Chris from VH Audio since I’ve purchased a couple of things from him already. I’m not a fan of a lengthy break in!

Would like to revive this thread as I’m about to purchase a Furutech GTX-D Gold receptacle, with the wall mount and the carbon fiber plate it all adds up to almost $500. My question is how important is the wall mount and the plate? Has anyone experimented and used a generic mount and plate with good results?

It’s my first time to experiment with changing the receptacle so I want to tread carefully as it were. But if it’s really worth getting all 3 (receptacle, mount and plate) I could stretch my budget a bit. 

Thanks for the suggestion, I asked Chris of VH Audio on whether I should get the Rhodium vs Gold, he suggested the gold since my Furutech power cord is terminated with FI-28 Gold. I like the warm and laid back presentation of the Gold. The only caveat is that it’s not the most detailed but I’m okay with that. 

600 hours is an awfully long time. I believe time could be better spent doing other things than waiting for a receptacle to 'break-in' and sound like it's supposed to, to each his own.
