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

I am interested in the Blue after doing some research but 285$ is hard to swallow for a frickin' duplex. Anyone knows if SR will come up soon with a promotion where if you buy the blue duplex, they will throw in a blue fuse for free?

I currently have a Shunyata SR-Z1 outlet that I am looking to upgrade. I am looking at two options: 1- cruzeFIRST Maestro or 2- synergistic blue. The maestro is qualified as neutral, clean and natural. These are qualities I am looking for to match my Yamaha and Bryston gear. The problem with the Blue, there is not much that have been written on it yet. No professional reviews that I am aware of. In this situation it is difficult to know how it would pair with my gear. I know we always have to try but that would be nice to know some attributes when compared to other outlets. And, there is a 200$ between both. Is the Blue that great to justify the 200$ Increase? Did anyone compare these two outlets?

The Blue duplex is no longer the sheriff in town.. The new Orange outlet is out!

I saw this new duplex on SR own website. I visit this site regularly and just noticed today so it’s fairly new. My guess is that it won’t take long before you can buy one. The price is the same as what was the price of the Blue, at 285$. The Blue is now 225$, and the black at 200$.

jea,

Respectfully, I think you miss the point. I speak for myself but I don't care much about the why, why, why.. Thing is, I f***** don't know how they achieve a better/different/worse sound with different outlet. All I care, as an audiophile, is does it sound better to my ears? Does it synergize well with the rest of my system? One has to step outside own's pre-conceived ideas. You seem to think too much like an electrician; plug one of those and listen for yourself. Then come back report.

It's not because I do not understand the science behind the product that I cannot appreciate its merits. I cannot explain why a cleaner power signal feeding my gear ends up with my gear to sound better. Why is this, I don't know and cannot find an actual answer. But I do appreciate the improved sound though.
