Anyone compare Furutech’s GTX–D NCF to the Synergistic Research UEF with Graphene duplex?

I am constructing a new room and thinking ahead to wall outlets and circuits, etc. I have plenty of Furutech GTX's in Rhodium and Gold and even a Cardas in silver to try out. This starts to get expensive but with graphene being the new tech on the street, it would seem the SR application of it might be pretty good but then the NCF has the nano-crystals and damping.

I'm not trying to overthink this but since I haven't even put up walls yet, I have plenty of time to see what others have experienced.

What say you?

Yes the GTX-Rhodium has more air and sparkle than the Oyaide R1 and more fine detail than the SR Teslaplex. The SR Black to me has the best attributes of all the other outlets in one package.  I find it's sonic improvement to be quite remarkable.

I would highly recommend the Oyaide R0 outlet mounted in the Oyaide WPC-Z wall plate. The R0 is an unplated version of the R1 and as such sounds more neutral. Oyaide also offers an unplated P004 male plug now as well. I just got a unplated version of the P004 but have yet to press it into service but will report out when I do.

How is the grip of the SR Black?

The grip of the Synergistic Research Black outlet is fine. It is neither too loose nor so tight that it scratches the prongs of your power cords.

Check out Audioquest new outlet.
It has a death grip so power cables stay secure.
