auxinput mentions outlets as tone controls. One thing I have found since I went to all Furutech duplex, is that common brass outlet parts/plugs (with no plating) are actually pretty bad! They harm the sound. You never know this until you are rid of them!
Having gotten rid of them, then trying some, yikes! they are terrible. naturally only in a tiny audiophile ear killing way. (normal folks would never notice anything different IMO).The other thing is I originally liked the gold plated Furutech GTX better ... at first. but as time goes on(for weeks for some new duplex) I am happier with the sound of equipment plugged into the Rhodium GTX NCF duplex. Just a little better detail, tiny bit smoother highs.( I cannot say if this is due to the NCF. Since no gold Furutech Duplex use it yet.)
