Furutech AC Receptacles

Many times changing components or cables, it could just be a change of sound not even improvement, on my experience it took two good mentors, and many many hrs of listening, before I was able to learn what is change or improvement, sound or music...iam so impatient to wait for the cable or component to settle, then I just  jump into conclusion right away wow it's a good cable? When I rush most of the time Iam wrong.Then I realize reviewers take months before they write their reviews...I realize it's good to wait in this hobby....

I personally thought for a long time aftermarket receptacles were a waste. When I built my sound room, I used hospital grade hubbels.
Friend told me about the Furutech GTX. I read the factory specs, pure copper, that made sense, and a industry first. Tried one. 500hrs latter replaced the other four. Just one was far from subtle. IMHO all connectors, wires, fuses,outlets, metal type and purity is a really big deal.

Would like to revive this thread as I’m about to purchase a Furutech GTX-D Gold receptacle, with the wall mount and the carbon fiber plate it all adds up to almost $500. My question is how important is the wall mount and the plate? Has anyone experimented and used a generic mount and plate with good results?

It’s my first time to experiment with changing the receptacle so I want to tread carefully as it were. But if it’s really worth getting all 3 (receptacle, mount and plate) I could stretch my budget a bit.
