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

Furutech uses a wide and thick stainless steel back strap.  
No brass inside. Pure copper connectors, with stainless steel spring system. I discovered there is a reason for no brass in the device. Brass creates it's own distortion.... I got rid of every duplex and replaced them with the Furutech all copper..When I would add a brass plug, I could hear it creating a background buzz/distortion in the upper mids... So no more brass for me if I can help it.I switched to PC with all copper plugs...

Yes, Furutech uses a high grade non ferrous stainless steel materials in the outlet.

@jea48 I have the same issue with the SR outlet and have wondered what they might be able to accomplish with a ’higher’ quality unit. Whatever they are using as treatment / conditioning does return value in overall performance upsides.

That's a little disappointing to find out and very disconcerting at the price they charge!
I am happy that I perceived a change in SQ but still that is depressing.
May have to reevaluate the purchase of any future SR Blue products.

😕😕

FYI: I'm not using the Synergistic Research Blue outlet, never had it or heard it. I'm using the Furutech GTX-D and GTX-D NCF (R).
