Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle

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?

I agree with Tonyptony, the Maestro seemed to be more natural than the S.R Teslaplex SE. The Teslaplex sounded liquid and vial compared to the Maestro. I haven't tried the Furutech GTX-R but have heard great things.

Yes I am using the Furutech Rhodium version. All my outlets have been in place for several months and are fully settled in. The point I wish to make is for me, there is not a one best recepticle but that in a circuit with multiple outlets a mixture of recepticles can give an optimized sound.

To get superior sound takes a lot of trials with different recepticles and combinations of recepticles. Try to audition several that offer a return policy. I like the Furutech but I do not know of any vender that offers a money back trial. It also is by far the most expensive. Putting more than two Furutechs in my circuit does not help. One is better, two is better still, three is too much. The same happened with putting in the Synergistic TeslaPlex outlets. There is a certain number that yield the best sound.

I also have changed to all Furutech GTX-D rhodium receptacles. They are the best for my system. But,I am also using Oyaide outlet covers. I think they look better than Furutech.

I still own several Oyaide R1's, Maestro's and SR outlets but are not currently being used.
