Furutech Gold and Copper connector


I was wondering how long does Break-in Time of “Furutech IEC connectors” takes in order to open up and present all its potential quality. I am talking about Furutech FI-11 Gold and Copper connector series. The power cables where connectors are used with, are already broken in and sound good with their original connectors. I read in several review that Furutech cables takes up to 400 hours to break in! Is this also valid for Furutech connectors too!?

You feedback would be appreciated.
cheers,

I agree, Chris vanhause knows what he is talking about, I respect him, and do bussiness with him.
which Furutech GTX-D Gold or Rhodium put the vocals further into the room and sound fuller?
what I want to know is, Has anyone mixed the Furutech GTX-D Rhodium with Gold Wpo's?
Michaelzay, I believe you are a well seasoned audiophile my friend, an asset to me, seems everything I find out about these Furutech GTX-D wpo's, from no where you are spot on like you read my mind or something, Rafael0054 talked me into tring the Gold out on the Krell amp, The Rhodium sounded better in everyway, including sound stage, but one important part of the tone, BTW, Krell is known for bass, for some odd reason, I cannot understand, The Gold had lower, fuller, bigger bass than the Rhodium on the krell amp, it's like I had a bass suck out on the krell, bass half notes that was thin compaired to the deep full bass of the Gold on the amp,you quoted this-,,,One could use Rhodium connector for CD player or preamp and Gold for Amps., what!, that is exactly what I am going to try today, for the first time, I am going to test the both on the entire system, since I only need two, The Rhodium had way better bass on the tube/solid state hybred digital, so this is a monkey wrench into what I thought before, being the Gold does bass correctly on the Krell, but everything else, including vocals and sound stage was way better with the Rhodium on the krell, just no bass, I do not get it?, I was about to send the Gold back for a Rhodium, I listened to Rafael0054 and did what he asked, mmm, glad I did, as they say, not so fast!, I will tell you how this may turn out.
Hi Michaelzay, I enjoyed your review and find that I have the same impressions between Gold and Rhodium Furutech GTX-D wpo's, my cables are copper!, The Tara labs Zero Gold I/C, Tara labs Omega Gold speaker cables, Tara labs Cobalt power cord that is terminated with oyaide ends, the Rhodium is incredible with these cables, I went through a shock factor of the synergy with all of this, The Gold did not have the magical sound stage presatation or the Resolution that the Rodium brought out of my cables, you seem to be the first audiophile that knows what he is talking about, has nothing to do with tube or solid state equipment, like you said, rather it has everything to do with cables synergy!, well said Michaelzay, one thing that is most important that I have not said to no one yet, is the fact the Rhodium is incredible on the $5,450.00 Tara labs Cobalt power cord that is this,, Another industry first is TARA Labs' propriety annealing process, known as SA-OF8N 99.999999% copper (super-annealed, oxygen-free, eight nines pure copper). This creates a unique, long, unbroken crystal structure called “mono-crystal” which has exquisitely smooth and detailed transfer of frequencies over a very wide bandwidth. pure copper, which is the purest in the cable industry,even more pure than occ copper that is 6-nines,also versus cheaper power cords that I do not use that I had on hand for many comparisons that was not so much of a huge improvement like putting the Rhodium on a very good pure copper power cord, cheers.
