Furutech - GTX-D 20amp Pure Copper Duplex Receptacle

It could be argued that plugging some $50,000 worth of high-end audio equipment into a 49-cent wall receptacle is ludicrous. The same could be said about using those cheap molded plugs that came with your equipment’s power cords. The fact is, you and your system deserve a whole lot more.

If a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, then it stands to reason that your system is only as strong as its weakest connection. You’re compromising your sound unless you’ve got durable, airtight connections to the electricity that ultimately drives your setup. It doesn’t make sense to invest so much in high-end sound only to cheap out at the most affordable and most fundamental point. Introducing Furutech connectors and wall receptacles.

A very Furutech power product, manifesting a devotion to best performance in every element of AC and signal transfer. Considering that what you actually hear is in a very real sense the direct product of the incoming AC then the final few feet are of prime importance for best performance. Of course everyone would love to make pure-copper receptacles, but its malleability –lack of stiffness –makes pure copper a poor choice. That’s why you’ll find phosphor bronze or brass in some receptacles. Furutech’s intense engineering scrutiny has resulted in an industry first, a technique allowing them to use special Furutech 24k gold-or rhodium-plated a(Alpha) pure copper conductors strengthened and sprung by their innovative nonmagnetic Stainless Steel Conductor Spring System that keeps a firm grip yet won’t damage male connector blades or their plated surfaces. Even the screw-down pressure plates are curved to maximize contact area. The GTX receptacle can be summed up in a word: virtuoso!
