Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle


Moving homes.  Any recommendation for quality wall receptacle?   Pangea?  Audioquest?

 

Thanks

Hey Folks,

Another vote for Furutech.  In my situation, outlet and cover from a dedicated line, and male end replacement to my power conditioner.  Don't underestimate the value of a spring-loaded grip on the female receptacle on the outlet, just enough for contact, but doesn't damage the metals...clever.  

As for "the divide":  "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."  Let your ears decide.  More Peace, Pin

mitch 2, maybe it is my 68 year old ears, but I could not tell the difference on some A/B comparisons.  There were some other so-called upgrades that never panned out as well, like lifting speaker cables off the floor or record clamps, which actually seemed to bleed the life out of my records.  So what do they improve besides making sure you have enough juice?

Yes you are correct it is a huge difference in resolution, frequency extremes, detail. And you are right as big as an equipment upgrade. Myself I bought my first one because it was on a good sale and it was a jaw dropping change I then order enough others to change out the rest of my plugs in my main system. It is hard for people to do is spend that kind of money on a receptacle and in my opinion that is why people doubt it. It seems like a crazy amount but once a person has tried it no going back. For all that have doubts just try one and in fact if you don't like it I am sure you can get over half your money back reselling it. When you take that into consideration the cost of trying one and not liking it is about the cost for two people going to a restaurant and having dinner. When thought about in that way it is easier to spend the money. I highly doubt many people will sell except if they try another brand and keep the one they like best.

 

Yes you are right it is a major improvement just hard to believe that it can be that much better. I am a firm believer in them and hope that all audiofiles that are on the fence just go try one. 

None of those high end models are any better.  I tried everything.  Your only goal is a high clamping force.  Get some Hubbell hospital grade outlets for $16.  Nothing sounds better, and they may be worse.  Tellurium alloys are junk.  Get a conduction chart for copper alloys and you will be shocked.  Stick with as pure a copper alloy as you can get. Then you can afford to put more everywhere.
