Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others

Audiolabyrinth,
Hi, I just saw your post. I bought the Afterburner 8 outlet, and I truly believe that it made more positive difference to the sound of my system than upgraded power cords. I really only did it to feel more "secure" that I was using a good outlet, and I was expecting little if any difference. It turned out to be $65.00 well spent.
I have not compared them to anything but ordinary outlets that were installed in my 10 year old home.

Hi Roxy54, I agree with you, I was quite stunned with the performance of the furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlet's I have over the wpo's-wall power outlet's I was useing, I bought one of these just so I could run a 30 amp single pole breaker on my amp, as it turned out, I was floored with the sound of these, I bought two and one wall frame and cover plate, will be getting another wall frame and cover plate, the wall frame and cover plate increase's the performance by 20% to 30% by my evaluation's, I felt like I was living under a rock when I heard what a good outlet could do, I tried some outlet's years ago, worked good, not to this kind of performance, never did I ever imagine or expect wpo's could do this these day's, I am still burning mine in, currently, I have 559 hrs on the first wpo, 306 hrs on the second wpo out of 700 hrs that is said that it takes to burn these in, cheers.

I agree with Audiolabyrinth.

I have the GTX-D with the outlet frame. The outlet frame itself made a dramatic difference. So I thought the cover was an afterthought (and only for aesthetics).

I just installed the Furutech cover and I'm stunned at the increase in performance. There is less smearing of the sound so it comes across as an increase in resolution, clarity and smoothness. The leading edge attack is faster and overall it solidifies the sound. Sounds so crazy I was hesitant to post this.

Hi macdude, which version do you have, the Rhodium or Gold?

Macdude,
I've read where others say the Furutech GTX-D outlet with the addition of the outlet frame and cover was an improvement but the cost of all of this (like audio) is crazy! What is considered to be a good price for the frame and cover?

Has anyone else tried the Furutech frame and cover with mixed results?
