DUPLEX RECEPTACLES YOUR EXPERIENCE

You can read my review on ac outlets here. I have tried most of the outlets on the market over the years and the maestro outlets are the best I have ever tried out in my system...I even tried the new improved Teslaplex SE outlet and the Maestro outlets are a all around better outlet!

I installed a Furutech GTX-D rhodium. Honestly I just wanted a new outlet when I moved the gear to another room. The change was dramatic as audio-writers say. Couldn't believe it but there it is.

Only makes sense that receptacles will lose there grip over time and replacing them will make for better sound especially when new ones are installed. I wonder how long they will maintain that grip?

Hospital grade, most audio grade, and commercial/industrial grade outlets should maintain a good grip indefinitely. That is one of the reasons for certain receptacles being designated "hospital grade". They offer a certain level of reliability when it comes to grip. You don't want medical life-support equipment to shut down because a plug slipped out of a receptacle. Many manufacturers' commercial grade receptacles are just as good as their HG offerings, just without latter's spark suppressing contacts.
