What's my next step in AC conditioning??


How do I get my system's background to be quieter without losing dynamics (or adding brightness)?
I currently have 6 components plugged into a Monster HTS 2000 plugged into a standard double wall outlet. If I plug my CJ MV-55 directly into the wall outlet, I lose dynamics.
What's the next step:
An audio grade wall outlet? Which one would be best for me?
Upgrade from my HTS 2000?
Thanks in advance!

Basically the side labeled for DVD and CD player on the HTS has the most filtering. The other side has much less i.e. where the AMP labeled outlet is and provides for more power hungry applications like AMP.
Based on your comments by all means invest in two dedicated lines, cost for labor will be almost equal than doing just one. As you noticed the less other things plugged in your system's line the better results you get. For quite a while I had my digital source, preamp, amp, TV set, cable signal , VHS in the HTS. I tweaked my system and found a testing track like track #23 in Chesky's "Ultimate Demo disk" and listened to how detailed and better presence the organ sounded and also how better or worse the different part of the chorus were portraited. This led me to just leave in the HTS what I really need for music reproduction, in other words even just having other things plugged there and not "on" had some effect. In your case I'd suggest trying without the Scott and deck and see what happens.
Power cords have also helped me a lot, I even changed the stock in the HTS..... not easy but doable Your comments please

Uri: the Monster has a schematic diagram on the underside. It has two filter circuits, each using two inductors in parallel. The power amp is best plugged directly in the wall using a cryo'ed outlet. Later you might want to try something beefier, but for now let's keep things simple, in balance and within a reasonable budget.

Here's a review from someone that followed my suggestions:

Power conditioning and cryo treating

I am not a huge fan of multiple dedicated lines, as that can bring ground loop issues. My system runs on just one 30 amp, 220V dedicated line and I use step down isolation transformers. It works.
Good post. I recently moved most of my components to an area where I need to run a new circuit. This post reminded me to contact Albert and get some of his Porter Ports. He directed me to his listing here on Audiogon. Check is in the mail.
Thanks for all the posts.
Bottom line is that I willinstall 1 or 2 dedicated lines plus Porter Ports. I will also try some oneac isoltaion transformers.
