Maestro vs. Furutech GTX-D Gold AC Outlets

Hi

Am considering the 2 outlets Maestro and Furutech GTX-D Gold. I realise the Furutech costs substantially more. I will be plugging a Krell FPB power amp and into one outlet of the duplex and an Oyaide MTB 6 with SWO DX Ultimo outlets into the other. Power cords are Triode Wire Labs.

At the moment I am using regular UK outlets with a Wireworld Aurora 5.2 into the Oyaide MTB-6 as the Wireworld is the only cable I have with a UK plug.

I am generally happy with the sound except for some sibilance in the leading edge of notes and would like a full bodied, organic sound which is NOT slow, thick or bloated. Treble extension is sufficient at the moment. I don't know how much of this sibilance is due to the Wireworld cable as that is probably the weakest link and I have no means of testing that. I gather so far based on reading that the GTX-D is a fuller sounding cable and the Maestro is more neutral - that's all I have found.

I am not much of a power tweaker and hopefully will only do this once.

Your experience with these outlets much appreciated.

Thanks

Lcherepkai, thanks for your feedback. I was reading some of your early posts looking for a power cable and sense that you were looking for similar qualities as far as sound goes.

Your report on the Oyaide R1 differs from most accounts. while it is said to have a very extended treble, it also has very little bloom as opposed to the GX.

I was hoping that the Maestro has a good degree of body and tonal density albeit being neutral but it sounds from your description that it doesn't. Please clarify.

Thanks
