Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others

Try the Maestro. Best all around for the money that I have found.

I have found that Maestro sockets are the best for my system.....just plain better, not colored, like others, just plain better. I had Porter Ports....these trounce them.

I own the Maestro, Oyaide R1, Synergistic Research tesla, Furutech GTX-R and the Hubble's mentioned in this thread. Each of these outlets do have there individual qualities.

But, there is a reason the Furutech GTX-R costs more ... its built better and sounds much better.

If your AC in the best you can get it, and your power cords are capable, the Furutech shines over the others.

All the ones mentioned except for the Hubbell have some internal ferrous components that I feel degrade the sound. The single units such as the 5361 will also have the least potential for mechanical resonance. The ones that have the greatest ferrous content in the signal path potentally could end up working extremely well with the power cords from the maker High Fidelity. Tom

ozzy, have you tried the Furutech GTX-D Gold?, Has better mid-range, textured, vocals sound more realistic, cheers.
