Audioquest NG Edison is a nice receptacle. Grips like a gorilla.
Wall outlets
Hey everyone, don’t kill me I know it’s been talked about a bit. I’m am currently about to upgrade my wall outlet. Commercial vs Audio outlets. The general consensus is commercial hospital outlets would work but they can strip the coating off our nice power cables. I have talked a bit with @audphile1 on this matter. Furutech has my attention. I have considered upgrading my power cable to the Furutech DPS 4.1 cable and get a Furutech outlet with the same finish. A friend of mine is an electrician and has offered to install a new outlet behind my rack. He said I could pay with a case of beer. Haha. Sorry if I started a new 🔥🔥🔥. The forum is fun, there is far more knowledge here than we are going to find anywhere else IMO. Also I finally got my virtual system up for anyone to take a look. Thanks everyone

As many have mentioned, you can not go wrong with Furutech GTX-D(G) Gold plated, or GTX-D(R) Rhodium. In my system I preferred the Gold plated version, but I can see that the Rhodium version would appeal to some who prefer a more detailed presentation. I did keep the GTX-D(R) as I will compare it as I upgrade my system going forward. I can also recommend the Oyaide R1 receptacle (not the SWO XXX version) and the Cardas 4181 receptacle. |
@vthokie83 that’s a smart move to keep the R outlet for potential future use. As your system evolves and improves, you will find the high frequencies get more refined. At that point there’s no longer a need to warm things up with a gold plated outlet and you just need to open it all up and let it shine. These outlets, as well as the top of the line Rhodium AC connectors are all about transparency and clarity while retaining natural tone without becoming analytical. |
@lak I don’t know of any wife that would go for that red… lol |
