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;
A new GTX-D (Rhodium) outlet requires at least 500 hours of burn in time in order for it to come into its own sound. What you described you heard after 50 hours is par for the course. After 500 hours you may or may not like what you hear, but 50 hours of burn in is nothing for that outlet.
Just an FYI, and I agree 500 hours is a long wait time.

The Maestro is what you want. Search on here for more info and get it here. It will give you the clarity you want without mucking up your sound or take forever to settle in.

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.
Charles,
