receptacles

If you are looking for warm, I've found the Oyaide SWO-GX to be a sweeter sounding outlet. That said, I do agree with Lak that 50 hours burn in is not long enough.

However, considering you are using a Nordost cables and power cord, as well as Arcam electronics, I have no doubt that you are hearing sound that is thin sounding. I find it easier to change cords to suit my tastes than to change outlets, but I do realize that everyone is different. So try the Oyaide SWO-GX.

John,
The OP isn't seeking warmth, he's pursuing clarity and neutral/natural character.

Ahhh...you are correct sir. Speed reading tripped me up
again, sorry. ;^)

Stick the Furutech on your refrigerator. Plug it into each half of the receptacle for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks (6 weeks in total) and then put it back into your system and see how it sounds.

Deepak, I took a look at descriptions and various writeups on the equipment you indicated you are using. A couple of questions: By any chance is your listening position such that your ears are more than a few inches above or below tweeter level? And do you have the left and right main speakers pointed directly at the listening position?

If the answer to the first question is yes, or if the answer to the second question is no, I suspect based on Tom Norton's measurements and Michael Fremer's comments in this review of your speakers that one or both of those factors are the main contributors to the lack of clarity and excess warmth you have described. And that any difference an outlet and/or its breakin might make would be vastly overshadowed by those factors, as well as being far less predictable.

Good luck. Regards,
