I went through about a 9 month comparison with high end receptacles, and in the end there are 4 I can recommend:
(1) Furutech GTX-D (G) - Gold plated and my favorite receptacle
(2) Oyaide R-1 - Gold plated, really close to the GTX-D (G).....am installing both in my new audio room
(3) Furutech GTX-D (R) - Rhodium plated, was too detailed for me; but I can see it being the favorite for anyone wanting to boost detail......takes a LONG time to break it
(4) ACME Audio Labs - Silver plated with CFC coating. Excellent performer for the money, better than Hubbell and hospital grade for me.....1/3 the price of the Furutech and Oyaide, great for budget option
