He did a recent testing, A/B, of the GX ultimo, the Furu (old version) Cu, an MRI outlet, and a tweaked P&S. His were not burnt in (except the tweaked older one). He told me his preferences in his system were: Ultimo, MRI, Furu in that order downward, and he's swapped out a few for the Ultimos. He does not have any special plugs in his system as yet, so this was an outlet to outlet shootout on his mail wall outlet to his Wadia source, not plug and outlet synergistic testing at all. (Use search.)Al's system is very nuanced and revealing. While I could not tell any difference (hadn't visited in several months), he could, but said the diff was of a subtle variety between the GX and the Furu. He wasn't sure if he would get the exact same result had he tried the Furu gold version, which would have been a more direct match.
He went through this after I touted the Furu Cu from my system, so that's where he started. Until that time he'd been happy with the tweaked older non-audio outlets.
I found the Furu Cu a big jump in my system after the tweaked P&S outlets. My FM tells me that all by itself, so it's not a complex interaction with the CD/digital source end of my system.
My guess is that this is idiosyncratic, not definitive, and that your taste and your system synergies are the determinant. If it were only an issue of burn in, I doubt that Al would have chosen as he did.
FYI, I experimented with carbon fiber (you can searh here) last year and came up with a definite improvement with CF on the wall plates and elsewhere a la Oyaide and Acrolink designs. You might like those with your Furus.
