Maestro AC OUTLETS.....

One of the most overlooked and one of the weakest links in your system is your ac outlet. Over the years I have tried most of the ac outlets on the market and Maestro ac outlet is the best that I have tried in my system. My system sounds so much more realistic with these ac outlets in my system. The improvement is not small... its like getting a component upgrade! Here's my review on these outlets over on the audiogon forum http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?raccs&1280581691

 

Along with dedicated 20A lines, I run Shunyata receptacles. Yep, they certainly do provide an improvement.

 

Yes, I think people will be amazed at what these outlets can do for your whole audio/video system!.. http://www.cruzefirstaudio.com/maestro_outlet.htm

 

I believe good outlets can improve one's system. I also believe that products like this are way overpriced.

 

No, it isn't.

 

Yes, I do agree with you, that a lot of the ac outlets are way overpriced BUT not the Maestro ac outlets. I think they are are an AMAZING BARGAIN... PRICE VS PERFORANCE !..

 

You're not a paid spokesman?

$80 is actually pretty terrible for a receptacle

 

Ive hardwired my components directly to the customer side of my power meter.

You guys are really missing the boat, unless you try doing it that way.

Outlet upgrades, 20 Amp dedicated lines....not even close. I get all the juice and none of the noise. By eliminating the line breaker, the outlet itself and all associated wiring leading to the outlet its in a whole new ballpark sound wise..!

My upgrade in sound is equal easily to 2 component upgrades, and possibly bordering on 3 depending on if my neighbors are really running a lot of appliances or not!

 

Why...$80 does not seem like much for a quality product

 

Interesting review, but what do you think accounts for all these adjetives? I mean you are simply talking a RECEPTACLE....or am I missing something?


Are you paid by this company to make up reviews?...Just askin, no disrespect, but your claims are quite hard to believe.

Those kinda changes sound like the difference I hear when totally sloshed and waking up with a hangover......Perhaps a bit more details about why your sound radically changes from simply changing a receptacle

 

But a totally great good quality outlet can be had for much less than $10.00.

Im not sure why one would spend that much for something that simply connects an electrical cable and has a receptacle.....There isnt that much involved,....really...have you had an outlet apart to see how LITTLE is inside of one?

Its literally 4 screws, a few metal connectors and the receptacle itself.

 

I need to check my dedicated lines to see if that's what the electrician did, thanks!

 

How long was the break-in period for you to notice the full improvement?

 

Where can I buy them?

 

Audiophile voodoo.

These guys think 120 volts @ 3 amps is the same thing as 5 millivolts @ .01 amps.

They cannot see any differentiation.

You probably use zip cord

 

Why the same old audiophile generalization against anybody who challenges these sacred beliefs?

Do you believe 120 volts @ 3 amps is the same thing as 5 millivolts @ .01 amps?

Do you know enough about electricity to know any difference?

I thought we were talking sound

 

Did you solder the connections and, if so, did you use tin-lead solder, the new stuff which is guaranteed NOT to kill everybody on earth with lead poisoning, or silver solder?

If not, did you use gold five-way binding posts, silver, copper, or platinum?

Or did you just use a wire-wrap technique?

PS, I hope you disconnected the wires coming into you home before trying any of the above.

Plus, I really think you should have made the connections BEFORE the meter to eliminate any spinning effects from the disc in said meter.

Pssst. In a HiFi system, sound is a result of electricity.

In fact, sound, in a HiFi system, is inextricably bound to electricity.

NO, I'm not a paid spokeman....just LOVE the product.

 

NO, Im not getting paid to write this review. The other outlets have compared in the past, the difference's between them were small. BUT when I tried the Maestro outlets in my system I heard a much larger improvements... across the board improvements! I think these large improvements are because of the very high qualitly pure copper used in these maestro outlets and they are also unplated outlets too.
