Give it some time. Resolution and dimensionality are great now. Really wide and deep soundstage adding to the holographic feeling of the music being played back in the room. I have the full Furutech carbon fiber wall plate and cover. The GTX-r is a fine outlet. I upgraded from a Teslaplex.

How many hours do you have on it? As I type, I only have 25 hrs on mine. It most definitely needs some time, because honestly, my silver plated wattgate is spanking it. I wouldn't have thought that, even with the furutech being new. Obviously, my wattgate was fully burned in, with countless hours.I've got a real loss of sonics, it just stopped sounding like a real performance since installation of the gtx. I'm a little disappointed to be honest, but I know how important break-in is. I went through it with my cables, but I would not have believed that the system would have taken such a dive from the new outlet. It sounds flat and uninteresting. Just ho hum sound...

I estimate that I have around 450-550 hours. I recall that I had similar early hour issues as you describe; however, not to the extent you describe. My immediate reaction was how clear and articulate the musical reproduction was. Somewhere over time, the images and depth increased immensely, don't recall how long that took. I don't think I was ever dissatisfied with the sound going from the Teslaplex, which was also good. I am using Shunyata Black Mamba into a PS Audio P10 from the outlet and the amps are using custom made Neotech 10 gauge wire with Oyaide connectors. When the amps were plugged directly into the outlets they were more susceptible to noise and static on the line, despite dedicated circuits. That is why I went with the PS Audio P10. I don't notice any difference in sound with the amps plugged directly into the wall or the regenerator except for the elimination of static noises which drove me crazy.
You can always A/B your old and new outlets like I did..I had two outlets next to each other and compared the Teslaplex with the Furutch and despite the newness of the Furutech was able to discern the better and articulate mids and highs, with more of an organic sound.
The sound today is enchanting and mesmerizing. I know terms other might say for competing outlets, but that is an individual opinion. I am waiting for custom made Furtutech
Power cables with the top 50-R AC connectors. That way I will have total rhodium for the amps to the wall through the PS10.
Give it some time..you can always let them run in with some appliance or a 500 watt plus shop/work light for some time as others have to speed break in.
Good luck.
After 500 hours, I'm finally happy with mine. Thanks!
I would love to hear how it sounds relative to the Wattgate AG-381.
I have GTX-D (G) outlets. I was afraid that rhodium version wouldn't work for my system. For instance ACME SLVR plated cryo treated sounds too mechanical in my system and a bit on the bright side for my taste. I have 6 dedicated power lines and it makes it easy to A/B the outlets. I really like GTX-D (G) in my system on my monoblocks. The amount of detail and low level retrieval is amazing. I don't know how long they take to brake in though (mine were burned in already).
