RE: Impressions of the Furutech GTX-D(R) Outlet (non-NCF version)

Hi Duster,

Quality wise the Furutech GTX-D(R)duplex receptacle beats the Maestro hands down. The Furutech GTX-D(R) is far out there by itself ahead of all the others, jmho. Everybody that has them loves them it seems. I have yet to read any posts where a person found something they liked better.
Of course burn-in of the Furutech GTX-D(R) duplex receptacle can be lengthy I have read. Hundreds of hours I have read. IF I were to buy one I would want it pre burned-in. Not sure how the OP bought his. I would have spent the extra money.

Though I do not own either I have read many posts and reviews of both receptacles. For a cheap looking outlet it has a surprising good following though.

Even the reviewer in this article commented on how the duplex looked.
"The Maestro is a rather ordinary looking spec-grade 20-amp outlet constructed with a high-purity copper:brass alloy without plating. It is cryogenically treated with a professional microprocessor-controlled deep immersion process followed up with a rather sticky sweet-smelling coating that not only damps resonances and vibration but also reduces EMI/RFI. Details on this were not forthcoming other than that it is a proprietary formulation developed by CruzeFIRST Audio."

Note nothing was said about the back strap. I do find that odd.... The OP has one, it would be nice if he would check to see if the back strap is made from ferrous (magnetic) steel and check it with a magnet to see if the magnet is attracted to the back strap. It could be the back strap is made from brass plated with some sort of vibration controlling material. IF steel though the magnet will stick to the back strap like glue.
Jim
