World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets


Category: Accessories

Over the years I have tried most of the raved outlets on the market and the Porter Ports from Albert Porter were the best that I had found that did not add or take way from the music... here's a few, Oyaide R1, Synergistic Research Telsaplex, FIM 880, WattGate Silver 381 ag, PS Audio powerport premier, Jena Labs, Isoclean Gold. All these other outlets did something to harm the music in some way...some hyped up the highs and mids and others had bloated low ends. I always thought the Porter Ports were the best on the market that I had tried until I tried the Maestro outlets. The Maestro outlets are the most neutral and most accurate outlets that I have ever heard. I let the maestro outlets settle-in a little for 7 full days and nights playing music non-stop before comparing them with my porter ports. When I compared the two I found that the porter ports sounded a little closed-in and a little Flat sounding when compared to the maestro outlets. The porter ports was not as clean or as clear when compared to the maestro outlets. The porter ports low end was a little bloated too when compared to the maestro outlets. On complex musical passages with the porter ports in my system I found myself turning the volume down more...much more! When I was listening to music with the maestro outlets in my system the Trasparency of these outlets were truely amazing and I hope this will get even better as these outlets settle-in more! The soundstage was wider and deeper and they were more upper frequency air too when compared to the porter ports. The Maestro outlets had a lower noise floor that allowed more of the suble cues to come through more. The maestro outlets also had a better separation of individual instruments and vocals....more natural sounding more REAL! I think the non-plated maestro outlets have a much more direct sound than the non-plated porter ports because the Maestro outlets have a higher quality copper content. My vintage sansui sp-5500 horn speakers just completely disappears now with these maestro outlets in my entry level system...Marantz pm-7001 and matching marantz CD player, DH Labs power plus power cables, very cheap copper interconnects from wal-mart, Synergistic Research Alpha quad active speaker cables... I think these maestro outlets will become an Instant Classic!

My maestro outlets are still improving more and more as the days go by now. I'm going to wait until they settle-in really good for 45 to 60 days...my porter ports took about 40 days to sound their very best. I have been having a lot problems with my old computer lately and I'm hopping it will last a little longer because I don't have the money to get a new computer right now.
I'm sorry, but I'm skeptical, if only because I know how tedious it is to do all this "comparing", not to mention how nearly impossible it is to be objective, what with required burn in, vagarities in the AC supply, the need to have ALL the components there at the same time, changes in your attitude and hearing as the listening and comparing continues. And then of course there is the whole issue of system dependency. And lets face it: you really have to have a component - any component - in your system for a while and play a lot of music through it over a number of different sessions before you can really discover all of it's characteristics, both obvious and subtle. And further, the differences between one component or another often are subtle. And please: World's BEST! There goes your credibility, right out the window. Anyway, I don't mean to be critical, that's just my take on it. Perhaps you should tell us more about it's physical characteristics: how grippy it is, how heavy it is, what the build quality is like etc.

Mikesmith, I use to be skeptical about ac outlets too about 10 years ago. I know now how very important good ac outlets are for your whole audio/video system. These maestro outlets are now on the same level as an major component upgrade...they are that good! My system sounds like a much higher priced system with these maestro outlets in my system now. The music just flows SO effortessly without strain now! The built quality of this maestro outlet is very very good and the grip on the plugs are very good too.. better an porter ports. The maestro outlet feels like it has a little more weight to them when compared to the porter ports too. These maestro outlets are now turning out to be a very special product !....
