receptacles

Hi I'm really confused about which receptacle to use. I want clarity, not thin and not warm. I tried Furutech GTX-D R was not too happy its was burned in for 50 hours. Then i went for wattgate Rhodium did like that too i ran it for 50 hours. then i used PS audio i liked it but I'm still burning it in. I want something that will be really clear and above and beyond. I heard about the R! would that be the solution to my problem. Thanks

Deepak007,

At 230V it will take for ever to burn in the Furutech GTX-D (R) receptacle connected to your audio system.

You will have the same sound quality problems with the Oyaide R1 as you are experiencing with GTX-D (R) receptacle. The R1 will also need 100s of hours of burn in time connected to your audio system.

Here is another Agon thread for you to read. Note again the hours, 400 to 700, needed to burn in the GTX-D (R) receptacle. And that is with a descent connected load..... Not just a few amps.

To be fair to the Furutech GTX-D (R) receptacle you may want to check around and see if you can send the receptacle to someone and have them burn in the receptacle for you.

Deepak007,
Both the Maestro and the Avatar Afterburner 8 utilize un plated metal receptacles. Some feel that as a result they both are more natural sounding than those that employ a layer of plating. I'm certain results vary depending on system/components (as does everything else in audio). It has been reported many times that the Furutech GTX D needs "hundreds" of hours to fully burn in. So your assessment of the GTX is probably premature. I'm intrigued by the Avatar Afterburner 8 and will try one in my system (wall outlet to my BPT3.5 Signature Plus balanced power conditioner).
Good luck in your search.

At 230V I am guessing, if it uses a hermetic compressor, it draws maybe 2 or 3 amps. You could try it if you leave it connected for at least a month or a month and a half. At least it will be out of sight out of mind for at least a month.

From posts I have read, since you posted your thread, the majority of users like the GTX-D (R) over the Oyaide R1 duplex receptacle. YMMV....
