Furutech AC Receptacles

So said A C Clarke ...

wylmars,

Hope you are feeling better. I too am taking a long time to recover from back surgery.
 I do not know if you can really separate the Outlets from the dedicated lines. I agree that there is a quietness, a precision that the system obtains from a dedicated line and one of the decent outlets.

" Supercalifragicexpalodoious" Don't think I spelled it right. But I think most will get it.

No. A mighty transformation of the system; like fuses do; No. I have thermal magnetic breakers in my Pass amps. NOS telefunkens in my Steelhead phonostage brought just enough of tube magic to my system for me.

 I don't know how many tweeks that I have tried over the years (a lot) but currently I am a happy guy with my current system. Just need to be able to get on a ladder to finish the ceiling treatments.

Thanks for your efforts 
Best Wishes on feeling better.

Old thread......but I will give my thoughts on this.

Some will say there is no change in sound. Some will say that without even experimenting and base the statements of a hunch.

When I rebuilt my last pair of speaker crossovers, I played the same CD for a week. When you hear a familiar track and there is a vast absence of bass, then a few days later the room is thumping....that’s not my imagination....but that’s only one confirmation.

One thing you need to understand about receptacles, is there is no screw tightening down on a copper wire, it’s merely the prong touching another prong under light spring tension.

I don’t think the Furutech receptacles make it better, I believe the cheap ones make it worse. The goal is to maintain signal purity, this starts with clean power.

So if you want to chime in and basically say it’s snake oil, perhaps you should try it first. Some systems aren’t as revealing, this can easily cloud judgement...but either way....walk the walk before you talk the talk.

I agree, in all audio forums there are always going to be those that voice their opinion without having used the product. Based on speculation or theory they state a thought they have and/or believe. Some time theory is correct and other times theory does not apply to a situation. 
You also make an excellent point, perhaps their equipment isn't as revealing as they think it is, or perhapes they don't have a good ear for music.

Many times changing components or cables, it could just be a change of sound not even improvement, on my experience it took two good mentors, and many many hrs of listening, before I was able to learn what is change or improvement, sound or music...iam so impatient to wait for the cable or component to settle, then I just  jump into conclusion right away wow it's a good cable? When I rush most of the time Iam wrong.Then I realize reviewers take months before they write their reviews...I realize it's good to wait in this hobby....

I personally thought for a long time aftermarket receptacles were a waste. When I built my sound room, I used hospital grade hubbels.
Friend told me about the Furutech GTX. I read the factory specs, pure copper, that made sense, and a industry first. Tried one. 500hrs latter replaced the other four. Just one was far from subtle. IMHO all connectors, wires, fuses,outlets, metal type and purity is a really big deal.
