Replacing generic RECEPTACLES

Dill asked: “Do you think it is your mission to denounce cable upgrades, outlets and the like to save us from ourselves? You do know it is a tired argument at best.”

Well since you are asking, it is my mission to educate people so they can be more informed consumers. No apology if that makes you feel inadequate.  And please, if you are going to be critical, be accurate. I have promoted optimization, but not to excess. Somewhere in discussing this topic, fact must be separated from fiction. For instance, there was somebody going on about his 13AWG Romex - and anybody that’s even remotely aware of household wiring will tell you that there is no such thing as 13AWG Romex - people who make things up sometimes fool others who are less informed. So if that happens, I will gladly be the voice of reason to set things straight. You can choose to be part of the problem or part of the solution. Why you insist on not being part of the solution mystifies me. 

There is no problem, so therefore no need for a solution.

The problem is optimization beyond the point of excess, where some consumers are brainwashed into spending hundreds of dollars on power cables with unsubtantiable qualities. If you don’t see anything wrong with that, fine. But I do, and I will speak up. 

Good luck with that, you are preaching to the choir. We have heard it all before, more of an irritant than anything else. 

" The problem is optimization beyond the point of excess" Haven't found that point yet sleepy, but thanks.
