Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle


Sorry to put this under cables. One would think Audiogon would have a category for electrical tweaks.

How long did your Synergistic Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle take to break in, and at what point (in hours) did you hear it start breaking in?

NOW, this is assuming you did not come from a stock wall outlet, so please post if you've had say, PS Audio, or Maestro, or Shunyata, or Oyaide or FIM outlets for at least a year (so you have enough experience on the unit you had and it's been completely broken in).
Thanks

I have auditioned Ps Audio Premier, Oyaide R-1, and the Synergistic Research Tesla Plex. Each has their own sonic imprint. The SR is the most open across the entire frequency spectrum. The Oyaide R-1 is darker,but not muffled. The PS Audio more high frequency emphasis. The audio circuit has 5 receptacles. Currently my system sounds the best with 4 Synergistic receptacles plus 1 Oyaide receptacle. This circuit was further improved when I had the circuit breaker "Quantum Tunneled" by Synergistic Research.
My audio equipment is on one circuit that has 5 recepticles. I am still using a mixture of outlets. I have replaced the Oyaide R-1s with the Furutech GTX-R. The Furutech is less dark, better details. It does not present as much overall sound, for this the Teslaplex is still king. The combination of outlets seems to give me the best balance without any one type of sound dominating.

The outlets take two weeks to break in and reach their final sound.
Yes I am using the Furutech Rhodium version. All my outlets have been in place for several months and are fully settled in. The point I wish to make is for me, there is not a one best recepticle but that in a circuit with multiple outlets a mixture of recepticles can give an optimized sound.

To get superior sound takes a lot of trials with different recepticles and combinations of recepticles. Try to audition several that offer a return policy. I like the Furutech but I do not know of any vender that offers a money back trial. It also is by far the most expensive. Putting more than two Furutechs in my circuit does not help. One is better, two is better still, three is too much. The same happened with putting in the Synergistic TeslaPlex outlets. There is a certain number that yield the best sound.
