Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle

Well, I'm going by memory at this point, but as I recall there was something in the upper mids / lower treble that just - over long listening sessions - seemed not as natural in my system as the overall feeling I got with the Maestro. The difference was minor in the grand scheme of things, but I just felt over hours of listening that I got a more realistic, natural sound and presentation top to bottom with the Maestro. I suspect I could have changed some ICs in my system and the choice could have easily been the Tesla. I didn't dislike it by any means. The Maestro just helped my system sound more like what I hear when I go to classical and jazz performances. Sorry I can't recollect it at this point with the standard audio jargon.

If it helps, I liked the Tesla SE better than the Oyaide R1.

I think many people may get better results with Furutech GTX-D rhodium receptacles.

+1 with Sabai, Agreed, The Furutech GTX-D Rhodium!

My audio equipment is on one circuit that has 5 recepticles. I am still using a mixture of outlets. I have replaced the Oyaide R-1s with the Furutech GTX-R. The Furutech is less dark, better details. It does not present as much overall sound, for this the Teslaplex is still king. The combination of outlets seems to give me the best balance without any one type of sound dominating.

The outlets take two weeks to break in and reach their final sound.

Davidpritchard, Hi, Give the Furutech time to settle in, three weeks or so, are you saying you have the Rhodium version of the GTX-D outlet?
