Maestro AC outlet

have done extensive AB w/ the maestro vs the R1, which beat other oyaides (easily), furutechs, isocleans, hubbells, and a few others i cannot mention.

the R1 is more forward and dynamic, touch better bass, but the maestro has better detail and midrange / treble resolution, very balanced, great outlet. i've ended up relying on maestros for front end gear, R1 for amps.

maestro is a great outlet. needs about a week to break in.

Rhyno: Were the R1's you used cryoed?

I made 4 changes to my system over the past 6 months and the sonics have become more refined, better separation of instruments, more focused instruments, better high end resolution, slightly more bass. I purchased a Maestro outlet, purchased new cables, switched the power cord running to my regenerator, and all components are connected to the regenerator now. My speakers sound the best they ever have. I think the Maestro contributed to the improvement. I'm not certain how much.

if u installed the $79.00 maestro outlet yourself? Then u must hear a difference.

Hi 50jess

What outlets did you replace the Maestro Outlet with? What other outlets do you have experience with? I'm just curious. For me I just had old Leviton outlets that I replaced with Porter Ports in one system and in another with older PS Audio Power Ports that were Hubbell based. The build quality of both outlets were much more superior to the Leviton outlets I had in place previously. I wonder if the SQ improvements were due to the build quality and the quality of the materials used in these outlets vs the cheaper outlets.
