Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?

lak:
I have used and still own 5 Furutech GTX-R outlets. I now prefer the Synergistic Research Blue outlet. They have the big spaceous sound and detail of the GTX-R but the detail is more relaxed,  and there does not seem to be any one frequency that is emphasized. These are two excellent outlets, I simply prefer the Blue.

I have no uneasy feelings about the "build quality" of the Blue Outlets and the grip on the inserted plugs is just the right amount. The Blue plugs are easy to try in a system. They are well-stabilized after 12 hours of being in place and total break-in is done by 10 days. The GTX-R break-in is all over the place for 3 to 4 weeks. 


I think auditioning a Blue Outlet is a fun experiment and easy to do.

Lak - Might be wise to wait and see if Jea48 comes up with a "blue" Seymour alternative . Looks like he found the black duplex might be rebadged Seymour .

In a direct comparison between the Furutech (F) GTX-D NCF(R) and GTX-D Gold and the Synergistic Research (SR) Black and Blue outlets:

SR Blue >> SR Black >> F NCF(R) >> F Gold

The SR Blue outlet breaks in sooner than the SR Black, but both resulted in much higher and enjoyable performance than fully (and I mean lengthy) broken in Furutech outlets.

I'm a fan of Furtech and use their NCF terminations with all of my power cables. Outlet performance is a different story, in my system.
