The Acoustic Revive Power Standard-tripleC 8800 bulk power cable when terminated with Furutech gold FI-11M(G) AC plug and gold FI-11(G) IEC connector is what I consider a moderately-priced high-performance DIY build. It should be a very good match for use with your rhodium Furutech GTX-D(R) AC outlet, since the sonic signature of the Acoustic Revive 8800 with gold Furutech AC connectors is on the warmer side of neutral, while the streamlined tonality and vividness of the rhodium GTX-D(R) should counteract excess warmth, IME. The particular DIY build will also require plenty of burn-in time in order to decrease undesirable warmth and congestion, and increase the sense of speed and transparency. Installing a rhodium Furutech IEC inlet for the audio component it's placed on would be advisable if further streamlining of the overall tonality is desired.

Thanks again Duster.
The wall outlet feeds a Furutech e-TP60 into which everything else is plugged. The outlets in the TP60 appear to be FPX(G)'s, and the IEC inlet socket is gold plated. I haven't ever opened it up, but looks easy enough to get into so there's lots of tuning opportunity in replacing either the IEC with a rhodium plated one or changing the outlets themselves.
Greatly appreciate the input and advice!
Bill....you can also Cook the Furutech TP-60....it's easy.
Alan,
The TP60 has over 3k hours on it. Would there be some benefit to cooking it at this point?
Absolutely. You will be VERY surprised at the results.
Cooking the TP60 will also allow you to re-condition a couple of power cables at the same time, since those need a "recharge" as well.
One power cable would be installed into the IEC inlet of the TP60 (with the wall plug adaptor from the upper left set of binding posts) and the other power cable would be installed from one of the duplexes into the IEC adaptor of the Cooker, and then into the lower right set of binding posts. I recommend conditioning the furthermost duplex (from the IEC) first....then work yourself towards the TP60's IEC in succession. That way you're getting all the length of the internal wiring from the start. Call me if you have any particular questions....I can guide you in real time.
I would give each duplex a couple of days of conditioning. Put it back in your system, then let it draw current for a couple of days, allowing things to settle in before you do any serious listening again. Let us know the results!
OK, I'll give it a try during the work week when I normally don't have much time to listen to music. I assume my Model T vintage Cooker is up to the task? :)
Yes....it should be fine. The green LED might act a little differently due to the increased resistance (and mass) of the contacts within the duplexes, plus the two power cables, just so you are aware. Besides continuity, the green LED displays the pattern of the frequency sweep, which can alter slightly depending on that mass.
For instance, the pattern might look a little different when conditioning large caps, versus a group of power cables, or a daisy-chain of interconnects....the conductor mass is different. Nothing to worry about. It's a reactance issue.
RadioWonder:
Thank you for the pictures of your adaptors to condition multiple outlets at the same time. I have now ordered the materials to do make male to male jumpers to condition five outlets at the same time and have the ability to use the Ground Breaker adaptor so that the ground connection is also conditioned.
I am very impressed with the results of conditioning a Synergistic Research Tesla Plex outlet for six days. There was a significant improvement in an outlet that already had hundreds of hours of use.
The uses and benefits of the AudioDharma Cable Cooker continues to grow.
