Furutech Mains socket

After the last Fraim upgrade with the addition of a new stack of which i already mentioned

all my positive unexpected impressions, i thought it was time for a " twist" at  my  mains sockets  The situation is less than ideal since I have a radial circuit with 2,5 mm wire, (bigger is no possible

for the ducts running inside the walls) coming from an  RCD panel in the  basement  and feeding 3 sockets. The first one  on the wall behind the SL2s  and the other two behind  the Fraims stacks.

The one  feeding the system is the second where is connected  a 5 socket  distribution block.

I thought it could be a good idea to replace my old power sockets IEC  B Ticino 16A   for  the

Furutech   AS FIE 30 G.1 rhodium plated since EU spec. Powerlines are fitted with Furutech Schuko plugs. 

Once reconnected, i was psychologically expecting something better or in the worst case the same

On the contrary since the very first notes it was like the sound was more congested, slower,

more "inside the box" with more restricted soundstage.

Oh i forgot to mention that the fool electrician who did the work, also replaced the IEC plug on

the distribution block with a  cheap Schuko one but without soldering it, only crimping the

raw copper wire (3 cores Klimo for each polarity)

Happy New Year
