I just replaced a Porter Port wall plug with a Maestro. Right out of the box and installed, was a "Wow". Highs much silkier, lows less bloated (didn't seem so but in retrospect, they were)....lyrics, much easier to understand, more space, more air, quicker, ....all good and highly recommended. I only replaced one that powers the preamp and Silver Disc player.....I will now order more for the power amp and speakers (Vandersteen's have their own amps built in).

LOL I've still got a few laying around in my tweak drawer. If I remember correctly a Sound Applications outlet from Fast Jim and one of Bob Crunp's favorites. (Sorry, can't recall the brand.)
I also replaced a Porter Port with a Maestro outlet in my system and had the same experience as you; although, it took a good 3-4 days for the Maestro to come into it's own. I have my Running Springs Haley and Duke conditioners plugged into the Maestro and it unveils so much detail in the music without being lean or strident. It is a very neutral sounding outlet indeed. I also purchased the Maestro outlet cover, but can honestly say I really didn't hear much of an improvement with this outlet cover in place. If there was a difference it was very subtle. So it was an expensive outlet cover that looks nice, but I didn't hear any significant gain in the quality of the sound from my system.
I would like to eventually compare the Maestro outlet to the Furutech GTX-D outlet and also an Avatar Acoustic Afterburner 8 outlet. Has anyone compared these outlets and can share their experiences? Thanks.
