Yes, new cables do...

sound like that and a little rolled off.

"New cables and AC outlets often sound closed-in or congested before ample burn-in time is completed."

So I am familiar with it. In the case of the 8300 the soundstage was wide right off the bat but was a lot warmer sounding until around 75-100 hours on it.

"R-1 helps provide a rock solid, open sounding soundstage after many hours of burn-in."

Ok, this is good to know.

"7 days = 168 hours. That will only provide the first stage of burn-in, but of course it's up to you decide to give it more time or not. Just trying to be of help, since folks might jump the gun and reject a device if it is not satisfactory from the get-go. You might experiment with your gold Furutech AC plug after the Oyaide R-1 settles into your system."

Ah, now this is what I was after! Ok, Yes, since I'm not familiar with the materials (Beryllium and Paradium on Platinum) it uses so I don't know how long to break in so that's why I had ask. Now I have a good Idea how long now.

I will try the Furutech out on this. I have already made some Neotech cables (3002 MKIII and 3003 MKIII cables) with Rhodium AC plugs and IEC plugs. So I should be set there but won't hurt to try the Furutech ac plugs.

Thank You for the detailed info on the Oyaide R1. Too bad I don't have the WPC-z cover to try with it. :(
