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

Installed 3 Synergistic Research Blue outlets today. What is interesting to me is how fast the sound improves when these Blue outlets are installed. Immediately there was a perceived increase in dynamics. Over the next hour, the soundstage widened and then became deeper.

Unlike many other audiophile grade outlets, the SR Blue outlets do not have a prolonged break-in process to go thru. 


Tomorrow I will be installing Blue outlets in Mother's system. It will be fun to see how the single driver Terasonic speakers + Pass Lab amp responds.

David, please report back and let us know the improvements with you mothers system :-)

Installed the Synergistic Research Blue fuses and Blue outlets first thing this morning at Mother's. I just got back from a Sunday night dinner and listening session. Her system is a Pass Lab First Watt F-7 amp, PS Audio Direct Stream DAC, and Terasonic high-efficiency single driver speakers with the silver voice coil upgrade. She streams her music via Windows 10 computer. Everything is left on 24/7


Her description: There is better layering of the instruments front to back. A sense of greater relaxation and tranquility. Better detail. The brush work by the drummer is now more complex. 

I left the apartment with her continuing to listen to "her music".

My impression was the music has an enhanced sense of ease with better 3D soundstage placement and improved and enriched harmonics. The sound is very addictive.

Thanks David :-)

I believe you when you say the Synergistic Research Blue outlet improves the sound of your audio system.

One problem I have with the outlet it starts out as just a regular nothing special spec grade "Legrand - Pass & Seymour TR5362BKCC12 Receptacle Duplex Tamper Resistant Back and Side Wire 20-Amp/125-volt, Black" outlet that sells for $5.98.

And of all things the outlet has a ferrous galvanized steel supporting back strap.
That defies everything we have been told about the use of ferrous materials used in an outlet. Just look at all the high end receptacle outlets being sold. Not main stream mass produced outlets rebranded as audio grade outlets, but from companies that design and manufacture their own outlets. You won’t find any ferrous steel supporting back straps in them.
