Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord

I have been using the Furutech GTX-D NCF for more than a year now. Fantastic sound. The power cord helps too. 😉

@divertiti  No cover here as well just the outlet.

@divertiti Cardas. Oyaides R-1 also just before the Furutech non NCF version. A few others over the yrs but the Furutech GTX-D NCF were far the best.

@rsf507 Thanks, that's good to know. Curious which outlets have you tried before the Furutech GTX-D NCF?

@divertiti no have not tried the wall plate or cover just the outlets.

@jdub39 @rsf507 Thanks for the feedback. Did you find significant difference in opting for the additional wall plate and cover? They essentially double the price, so wondering if just getting the NCF outlet itself would yield meaningful improvement over AQ Edison?

Have tried many different outlets but by far the Furutech GTX-D NCF were the most transparent and dynamic only downside it goes thru ups and downs during burin-in but after 750 hrs it's stunning. 

@divertiti  Sorry for the late response ! I also currently have in the same 4gang box the AQ Edison outlet which replaced an PS Audio premier . The AQ Edison is no slouch by any means and could easily live with it I give an edge to the NCF due to dynamics and a bit more transparency without any sacrifice to musicality.

Both! Thank me later.

If one of the outlets in your porter port is available I agree with ebm, maybe consider plugging in an NCF Clear Line, or alternatively a Shunyata Venom Defender. YMMV, but I noted positive sq results in my 2 systems with both options.

Any opinion on which route to improve the sound quality: the Furutech GTX NCF outlet to replace the Porter Port outlet, or new PC to replace the Wireworld Stratus PC?

I would suggest that the Wireworld Stratus 5 cord is replaced with something else. I have the Wireworld Elektra 7 and it doesn’t sound too good when used on amplifiers. It sounds decent on digital but not on amps.

The Furutech GTX-D NCF outlet is very good. The only downside is the long burn-in period before it starts to sound stellar. Approximately 500 hours before you hear a sudden change in the presentation.

I like to use, what I deem as system synergy, to get the sound that engages me. Anything else like outlets, power cords etc, should just let that synergy shine more, not change the character through synergy. 

I've tried many outlets and at the time, each one seemed to sound better. I just have to remember that my system has changed several times as well.

@jdub39 I'm curious which other outlets did you try before the Furutech and what were the sonic differences?
