I have three of the old FP-15ACu's on the way.
Can anyone recommend a way to speed up the burn-in of all three simultaneously before I install them in the system?
Thanks for taking the time to read my post!

It seems that the receptacles will sound better than the P&Ss right out of the box.
I am just going to install them and let them run in
Thanks again for all the responses

It does an excellent job. The old Furutech's are very easy to listen to
without burn-in. If possible,move your high current gear from one outlet to another during burn-in. Your going to love these outlets...
I really would love to have The Cable Cooker. I just can't justify the cost right now.
I can't even do Hagerman Technologies FryKleaner kit right now.
It looks like an fun little project. Here's a link

The problem with this arrangement is that it doesn't pass current through the receptacle blades. Maybe that isn't a problem, but I thought that the break-in current path should be the same as the eventual one.
The gray power cord with the black and white male plug in the photo is
moved to each opening in the outlets during the cooking. Thus giving the
proper flow as when it is installed in the wall.
This is something I thought about when I first purchased the Cooker.
I made the yellow male plug with the pigtail adapter several years ago.
But I think that you would want to have a male plug going into each outlet. One of the outlets only has power going from one of its screw terminals to the adjacent one.
....to make up AC connector/adaptors for this very purpose. I use pairs of simple 2-blade AC male connectors, hand-wired with six inches of cable in between, and daisy-chain the outlets. I've used this arrangement for many years, usually conditioning up to 24 receptacles simultaneously.
One can also condition power cords at the same time, usually one going in and one going out (of the first and last outlets). Power cords can also be daisy-chained with this setup as well.
Alan, wouldn't you remove the break-aways, then hoop the hook-up wire when you install them?

No need, imo....the adaptor acts as the jumper for both outlets.
...6 weeks total for a duplex. I've heard on this forum that a computer does a better job than the fridge but that a final treatment on the fridge also helps the burn-in. Whatever. I have some junction boxes and one foot long cords with A.C. plugs that I use for daisy chaining the outlets together. After three weeks, I switch the plugs to the other side of the outlet. This seems to work because the sound doesn't change all that much after they have gone through this process. If I remember correctly though, you should run the hi-fi for a day to let them settle into their new environment.
IME, I didn't find the older model Furutech FP-15A(Cu) AC outlet to be nearly as fussy about burn-in as the Oyaide AC outlets are. I suggest that you simply install the outlets and keep your gear powered-up 24/7 for at least 400 hours (and playback program material as often as possible during the burn-in process).
Thanks Duster.

That is exactly what I'd do if I wasn't using a tube pre and power amp. I'd hate to waste all that tubelife burning in AC receptacles
Thanks again. If no one comes along with something else I'll just install them and hope they sound better than the Pass & Seymour 5262's without burn-in

I do what Duster suggested, leave it on continuous play CD or FM source, mute the speakers and let it run 24/7 for a couple of weeks. I doubt you'll need that much time to know.
I replaced my P&S outlets with an older Furu Cu first and was delighted right away. It got better from that over time.
Oyaide, as Duster has written is yet another level, but so's the cost. Furus are pretty damn good and will convince you that this level of audiophile upgrade is not hype.
Let them run 24/7.
With 10,000 hour NOS tubes, no worries about 400+ hours of burn in.
After that you can turn off the preamp.
Your other option is to hook them up somewhere else and run other stuff through them.
I had P&S spec grade and moved to the Furutechs FP 15 N1's.
Nice upgrade in my system. The N1's did take 400+ hours.
