Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?

I have to give labtec credit for stating what he believes.When he sees other audiophiles as gullible fools I have to take exception. I do though, find it ’interesting’ that the products cost so much. As if the high price is the perfect promise the product is worth the value?One reason I went with Furutech duplex (recently) rather than try some of the other boutique duplex. .At least the Furutech have some solid work put into them. Some products are sold at elevated prices with only the notion that there MUST be a reason??? for the price... Perhaps due to the maker thinking he has reinvented the wheel. Bybee purifiers come to mind. A few dollars worth of parts sold for hundreds (since the maker thinks of himself as a ’genius’)...$150 for a fuse? that is ridiculous. Marketing indeed. So in a way I hate labtec for belittling other audiophiles, and yet I also agree with him to some extent. So it goes.... And on duplex. Am I a ’sucker’ for spending hundreds for AC duplex when I can buy ’almost as good’ ones for $6? Yeah I can feel the common sense argument for that. Or even halfway upgrades like a $50 outlet. But I decided to splurge. (It IS my money LOL) SO I say if folks want to try $$$ fuses. fine by me. Just I would be very unlikely to buy a $150 fuse.

Don’t be too alarmed, labtec is a known SR hater. It’s not like he’s a real person with real concerns.

$285.00 ?? What a Stupid price. Trolling for  Fuls?  Barnum & Bailey would be hysterical ! :)

I see that you are off your meds again.

First....... I am a believer that an electrical outlet can have an impact on the sound of an audio system.

Take a good look at the two outlets in the two Links below. Not the Blue, but the Black. I would be willing to bet the Blue is also a P&S outlet as well.

Are they the same? Sure look the same to me.

For those of you that have the Synergistic Research Black or Blue UEF outlet the mounting back strap of the outlet sure looks like it is made of galvanized steel. That’s not good, is it? Have a magnet? Check it out. Is the magnet attracted to the back strap?

While you are at it check the screw terminals on each side of the outlet with the magnet. Are they also made of steel?
