In Reply to: Impressions of the Furutech GTX-D(R) Outlet (non-NCF version) posted by bcowen on September 19, 2016 at 17:27:33:
The Maestro itself is a well regarded outlet, and I really liked the sound of it. But after less than 2 years use, the contacts got so loose that it would barely hold the power cord in place.Copper alone does not have memory retention. Maestro uses brass in the mix for memory retention but it sounds from your experience it's not working well.
Note that the Furutech GTX-D(R) uses high grade non ferrous stainless steel spring clips on the outside of the high quality copper female plug-in contacts to maintain constant reliable contact pressure against the male plug blades. The memory retention life of the stainless steel spring clips will more than likely out live the life of the user....
