Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?

There is a recent thread in Tech Talk where I list the best uses I have found for fo.Q TA-32 (thin tape) and TA-102 (thick tape). Generally the thin tape works best on cables and connectors, thick tape on components and chassis. I’m generally more on the side of "more is more" when it comes to fo.Q. But it boils down to personal taste and your sensitivity to coloration produced by low amplitude vibration.

You have to realise what is happening with fo.Q. It is reducing the amplitude of already very low amplitude mechanical vibrations. As the amplitude decreases, the effectiveness increases. It’s not a conventional damping material like rubber or Sorbothane. It will effectively reduce the amplitude of vibrations that have such low amplitude that you may not realise they exist. Until they are gone.

I am interested in the Blue after doing some research but 285$ is hard to swallow for a frickin' duplex. Anyone knows if SR will come up soon with a promotion where if you buy the blue duplex, they will throw in a blue fuse for free?

I currently have a Shunyata SR-Z1 outlet that I am looking to upgrade. I am looking at two options: 1- cruzeFIRST Maestro or 2- synergistic blue. The maestro is qualified as neutral, clean and natural. These are qualities I am looking for to match my Yamaha and Bryston gear. The problem with the Blue, there is not much that have been written on it yet. No professional reviews that I am aware of. In this situation it is difficult to know how it would pair with my gear. I know we always have to try but that would be nice to know some attributes when compared to other outlets. And, there is a 200$ between both. Is the Blue that great to justify the 200$ Increase? Did anyone compare these two outlets?

parabellum:
I have the Synergistic Research Blue outlets in my three systems. They really are worth the price. Buy one and try it for 10 days. By then it will be fully broken in. Send it back if you do not think it is worth the cost. They give you 30 days to decide. The Blue outlets are superior to the Oyaide and Furutech outlets I have bought.

Hi. I use an MIT duplex. Instead of installing it into the wall, I put it into a junction box and plug the box into the wall and plug my gear into the duplex in the box. Am I losing anything by not having it wired directly into the romex in the wall? Thanks
