Update on the GTX (R):

Today, the thing sounds bloody fantastic. Balanced, quiet, and UberTRANSPARENT!

Burn in. I'm likely not totally out of the woods yet, but today is a good day.

How many hours so far and did you use a cable cooker?

Going to install my GTX-D (R) tomorrow after 7 days of cooking on a Audiodharma Cable Cooker; should be almost there but will settle down after another 7-10 days of use. Can't wait to hear my initial impressions against my Maestro...

Like I told one of my customers today the rhodium GTX is a lot like a paranoid schizophrenic for about 3 days and then starts to get better and better.  It turns from a harp to a siren (no, not like cop cars - like Homer's ladies)

I had really only tried the FPX-R before and I hated it.  Then again, I didn't give it enough time.

Who knew a few years ago that a receptacle could make such a difference?

I'm on day 6 now. I left the Sony Hap running, UberBUSS plugged into the GTX (R) as well as my water cooler into the GTX (R).

Made the water too cold and sterile the first few days. (Couldn't help myself ;)

Ther ain't no Kool-Aid in high end audio.  Snake oil BS and people that refuse to try and listen, sure.  I'm not into sweet and syrupy!   :thumb:

Looking forward to a number of PI upgrades...including a GTX-D(R) in front of my amp's UberBuss.  Thanks, Dave, I can't wait...
