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.

"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)."

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.
