Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?

Sorry, Maxgain - you misundertake me, though. The debate isn't for 'winning', but maybe that's why you don't get off as much on just the having of it as I do. That's cool. (And I realized your mistake was surely a typo, it just happened to be a particularly unfortunate one, given the pronunciation of my username!) Of course I have the money to spend on an outlet, but that's not the point. What I don't have is the money to spend on every possible tweak or improvement that comes down the line (as I'm sure few of us do) - but even more importantly, I like to direct my energies (and monies) based on my own thinking. I do not have a closed mind toward cryo (like I did toward say, little wooden disks), I'm just a tough nut is all. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

Zaikesman(I checked the spelling twice) what you fail to glean from what I have been TRYING to tell you is that this anin't no "tweek"! This anin't no, well I think I heard something did you hear something, sort O'thing. This ain't no, well maybe it gave me a 1% improvment sort O'thing! It ain't no, gee I think it improved that a bit but screwed everything else up in the process, sort O'thing! This is a real honest to God, WOW, how the hell did I listen to it without that sort O' thing that improves virtually every aspect of the sound and I can say seems to have no ill effects, no trade offs! What the hell else can do that for $65? If you know please hurry the hell up and tell me cuz I am gonna darn well get me one! That is why I am preaching about this like some demented sky piolot! If you ain't got one you NEED one! Period!

Hdm, I'd like to know how your appliances are performing with the receptacle upgrades.

This is starting to remind me of Audiogon two years ago with ___________, I'm not going to mention names! ;-)

Hey Drubin: My clothes are now so clean that acquaintances are constantly asking me questions like they do to that guy on the Viagra commercial and sometimes when I open the fridge there is stuff in there that just magically has appeared; it's wonderful! To be serious, I can't really say whether they've done anything in that application. Perhaps I'll just pull up a "listening chair" in front of the freezer some day for some "critical listening". In any event, I'm in a 35 year old house and the receptacles (particularly the freezer and washer/dryer units) that I replaced were pretty grim in the "grip department". I can recall reading somewhere (think it was UHF magazine) that they actually recorded the time it took for a kettle to boil with a standard cheapie receptacle as compared to a spec. grade or hospital grade model they sold and the kettle boiled significantly faster with the better receptacle, but I've never done any experimentation in that area!
