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.

I agree with Hdm, if you put an AC outlet or a power cord on your refrigerator, it's a very good way to burn them in. I finally invested in an Audiodharma Cable Cooker, which does a very nice job.

Deepak007,
Although I have never heard the Tesla outlet, it might need several hundred hours of burn in time in order to really find out what it will sound like and do for your system.

Deepak007,
Have you tried the Furutech FPX-G High-Performance Duplex with Gold Plating?

Or as I stated on this forum already; the Furutech outlets (at least the Furutech GTX-D (R) and FPX-G) take a good 500 hours to break-in, not sound thin and remain constant.

I've always liked my Wattgate Gold outlet, especially on my CDP.
