Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Oregonpapa:

Just returned from the A/C outlet installation. There are a total of five outlets on a common circuit. The power conditioner was plugged into a Furutech GTXD-R outlet with hundreds of hours on it (as it is on 24/7) . The new outlet is the Synergistic Research Black outlet. Since the systen already uses an Oyaide mountaing frame , changing outlets is easy.

Right out of the box this new SR Black outlet is superior in this system. Second songwas a Bobby Hackett trumpet piece. So much more detail, flow, and space between instruments. This system is the Type 45 tube amp (Emotive Custom Limited Edition), Antellope DAC, and Terasonic speakers with dual Gallo sub woofers. These are reviewer Jack Robert's former speakers. They need maybe 1/2 watt of power. Beautiful music was playing when I left the room.

As the door closed my Mother said " Thank you. I love you".  This outlet is sure better than any bouquet of flowers.

Very nice thing you did for your mother, David. I used to do that for my Dad for his stereo/TV system until he got too old to appreciate the sonic improvements. Are all five outlets in the circuit upgraded? If not, and there are still contractor-grade outlets in line, then you will hear an improvement upgrading all of them, even though some might not be used for music or video. Those not being used for audio/video you could probably get by with improvements with some less costly Hubbell HBL8300 all brass version, i.e. Porter Ports. I have some extra Hubbell HBL8300 I could sell you for $10.00/each. I bought a bunch of these from an electronics surplus store in new York. They are the same as the Porter Ports, but un-cryo'd. They are also red in color so they might not look good with the decor. I installed the red outlets that were hidden behind the couch, chairs, etc.

You are absolutely correct that each outlet in my Mother's system effects the system's sound even though three outlets of the five total have no audio components inserted. The other outlets have previously been upgrade to three Synergistic Research Teslaplex and one Furutech GTXD-R. 

I plan to allow the new Synergistic Research Black outlet to break in for a week and then see if adding an additional Black outlet will obtain an additional improvement.

What a good son! Please keep us posted on the improvements.

David,
Thanks for the update regarding the SR Black outlet.
In your system what do you have plugged into it?
