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

John,
The OP isn't seeking warmth, he's pursuing clarity and neutral/natural character.

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,

Al,
When I read these threads I just assume that the basics and fundamentals of good system set up have been addressed. It's entirely possible I may assume too much!
Charles,
