Furutech AC Receptacles

I would start with just getting a Nylon receptacle cover from Home Depot. If you find the Furutech receptacle to be worth keeping, then later purchase the plate and cover. At least that's what I am doing. Step by Step.
Also, when purchasing the Receptacle, I would get it from a place that offers Burn-in...i.e. Take Five Audio or VH Audio. Good Luck!

+1 aniwolfe. That’s what I did. In fact, I picked up a pair of slight used Carbon Fiber 104 plates off eBay for $55 each. That’s half off and they were like new. Last time I check, they were available.

And yes, the plate along with GTX frame does have cumulative positive effects on overall sound.

How do I burn-in the receptacle? Would plugging in a lamp and running it day and night work? Or, must there be a significant load on the AC to be effective?
