Usually, I come to a review with foreknowledge about a product and a set of basic expectations. In this case, I had no first hand prior exposure to Furutech or experience with high-end power receptacles. A very long time ago, before cell phones and audio websites, I replaced the original duplex of my typical post-war suburban ranch house. The old worn duplex was upgraded to a sturdier but not heavy duty, lab grade, or mil spec version from the local hardware store. Furutech specified that in order for their product to reach its full potential, the unit had to actually be installed. Since no one else at Positive Feedback was willing to perform such a task, the review was assigned to me. Thus, the question to be addressed is: What is the effect of Furutech's elite high-end AC receptacle performance package on a real world system such as mine?
