Hi-Fi Choice Signature Socket Review
Wednesday, 27th October 2021
Reviewed in the December 2021 edition of Hi-Fi Choice magazine, our range-topping Signature Socket is the ultimate choice for those who want to ensure the best possible electrical connection for their Hi-Fi components.
As the reviewer notes, the wall socket is “probably not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about upgrades”, but as they point out, “the physical contacts within a socket that connect with the 13A mains plug can be a source of noise when the connection is less than perfect”.
To this end, we introduced our first ‘SuperSockets’ many years ago and have improved the range as time has gone on; first with the DCT UltraSockets and now with the ultimate Signature Socket. The key features which set this model apart are it’s built quality, ensuring a tight grip on the plug pins, along with high quality Rhodium plating and our Process Q applied to all parts of the socket. Attention to detail is key here, so “all the contacts are rhodium plated, and that includes the screws that hold the conductors in place” – vital to ensure maximum conductivity and minimum impedance.

To test the effects of the Signature Socket, the reviewer plugs in the two mains cables that feed the whole system to ensure every component benefits. The resultant “subtle improvements in overall musicality and openness to the sound” are a welcome boost in performance, and he notes that, in particular, there is a perceived “improvement in the soundstage in terms of instruments having better defined positions”.
In conclusion, he remarks: “overall, a highly recommended upgrade”.
