Replacing generic RECEPTACLES


How important is it to replace your generic receptacles with audio grade receptacles . I already replaced my stock power cords to high end Shunyatas. Would it still be necessary to still change my generic receptacles to audio grade?

To answer your question - yes you will hear a significant improvement in the music your system plays when you upgrade the wall outlet. It is simply that simple. Since this will be your first experience with this part of the audio reproduction chain, buy an outlet that you can return if you do not think the change is significant, or watch the used listings here at Audiogon and buy a used outlet that you can resell if you choose to do so. 
Elizabeth has done a lot of critical listening with the Furutch outlets and I have done the same with Furutech and Synergistic Research outlets. These outlets impart a significant improvement  to a system.

I do hope you you will give audio grade outlets a try.

sleepy, A couple things:
" The laws of physics haven’t changed since the 80’s"
Agreed, however power cord, interconnect, speaker wire, & audiophile outlets have.
" The insults from some members are probably a reflection of insecurity that stems from lack of understanding how power supplies and amplifiers really work"
Or (try to think outside of yourself for a minute)...
They are probably just tired of being told what they are actually hearing is not reality because another professor or engineer has been taught this by like minded professors or engineers that read all the facts required for audiophiles to understand from books that are really really old written by men who never heard recorded music at a level that even approaches the lower fringes of high fidelity.

Well boxer, you laid out quite a stereotype at the same time as attempting to depreciate the works of many brilliant scientists who individually forgot more than a thousand average people combined will ever know. Believe what you want, and I will believe in the science that explains how every modern convenience we enjoy today actually works.
