Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47?
Quote from an AA member regarding the Maestro AC outlet.

I think it’s safe to assume the Maestro AC outlet is a Cooper brand product that’s essentially the same or similar to the Cooper BR20 Commercial Grade AC outlet available at Lowe’s for $3.47. If so, the Maestro AC outlet is nothing more than an ordinary hardware store product that’s been cryo’d and treated with a sweet smelling, sticky substance (snake oil?). Perhaps this unknown coating is what can supposedly make a $3.47 AC outlet sound superior to a Furutech or Oyaide product. Sorry for the snarky commentary, but this type of thing can affect the reputation of bonafide Audio Grade AC products. I’m sure you will fully enjoy the new Furutech GTX-D(R) AC outlet, bcowen!

I was told by someone in the industry that I trust, Maestro is just a cryo’d hospital grade outlet. No green dot.... For the receptacle to be a hospital grade outlet it would have to have the green dot. Looking at the picture of the Maestro outlet compared to the Cooper BR20 Commercial grade outlet they are identical. Right down to the Trade Mark found around the wall plate mounting support screw hole. http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/20/202332.html . |
