Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Oregonpapa,

The SR Black outlet is neutral to my ears, nothing dark at all. I don't feel like anything is missing. I put the outlet in 3 days ago. The first time I listened, I was in my chair for a few hours before I realized how much time had passed. That's an indication that I am really enjoying the music in my system. With the Oyaide, I would get up and wander and do chores or something else. I got more done around the house, so in that sense the Oyaide is better for me. But for musical enjoyment, the Black is better, at least for me. I only gave the Oyaide 2 weeks, and for sure it needs more break in. But I am not willing to go through hundreds of hours for an outlet to break in. I already went through something like that with the Acme outlet that I bought 10 years ago. That sucker didn't sound right until several months later. I did not want to go down that path again. The SR Black outlet sounds good right away and will only get better, I anticipate.

David, what are your 300B amps?

dbarger:
My set amp is a "Ready Set Go" design (this is a circuit design released to the DIY community in 2012). Much like some of Nelson Pass's designs that he has published for the DIY family. Built with premium parts throughout. It has a volume control and so no preamp is needed with my SACD player or Antelope DAC . This amp can use the EML mesh 300B tubes without overstressing them and so I bought it here on Audiogon. But I have not found any used EML mesh tubes as yet!

Well today is July 4 and I have the day off from work. So I spent the last several hours changing out one of the wall outlets in my Mother's living room. There are 5 outlets on one circuit. Previously she had One Synergistic Research Black, One Furutech GTXD-R (rhodium), and three Synergistic Research Tesla Plex (red) .  The primary power conditioner is plugged into the SR Black outlet. Today I replaced a SR Tesla Plex (red) which the dual subs are plugged into with a SR Black.

This occurred while she was out of the room eating lunch. When she got back I fired up the system. Her initial impression " better bass- firmer and more emotion to the music. Details are easier to hear".

We then spent the next hour listening to her streaming service and were impressed that we could hear the music presentation improve song by song. "It is like watching a flower unfold and becoming more beautiful"

A very nice time indeed.
