I received a maestro outlet about 3 months ago, mostly due to this thread. It has been a nice improvement over a 45 yr old outlet our nice house came with. The maestro has a lot better grip than the old outlet but not a death grip. Which I think is very good thing. The sound now seems to have a noticbly lower noise floor. Now compared to before there are sounds that are more clearly marked. Much of that is the sounds dirctly from and around the instruments(the trailing harmonics I think) and vocals are more complete and thus more natural making the timbre of the instruments and vocals more natural and fleshed out. This worked to make everything more complete/whole and more natural. It did not move the sound stage closer or father away but I can hear more clearly the back of the stage. And the sides of the stage things were more clearly outlined but in a natural way.
So as a sum up it made the low level sounds more clear in a good way which seems to result in everything haveing a more complete sound and thus sounding more natural. And the prominent sounds are more 3D in a more natural manner.
I think it was a nice big improvement with no down sides. I can't always say that. With all this being said I think it is goofey how much improvement an outlet can have.
