Oyaide/Furutech/Wattgate AC Receptacle Question

Posted by NotoriousBIG_PJ (A) on November 17, 2007 at 09:03:35

My power setup is currently using two power cords with Oyaide P004 / C004 connectors, and I have three receptacles to pair them with; one is a double cryoed Hubbell IG5362 receptacle, one is the latest furutech gold receptacle, and one is an older model furutech silver receptacle.

Between the three receptacles, I can't find a combination I like. When I use the hubble and the silver receptacles, the bass is nice and controlled, the sound is focused, the midrange tone is a bit cold, and the highs are forward. When I switch one of them to the gold receptacle, the highs become more laid back, the soundstage expands but becomes more diffuse, the midrange becomes warmer and more inviting, and the bass becomes boomy.

Swapping between the hubble and the silver receptacle, I notice the silver's highs are a bit more forward, but thats about it.

I love the mids of the gold receptacle, but I can't stand the out of control bass. Any suggestions for a receptacle on the warm side with controlled low end?

Thank you,

Biggie.
