New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement

The conversation has degraded to burning in AC power outlets. I think we have lost the plot on the conversation already.

Ignorance is bliss... It’s Not about burning-in just any outlet.

Two threads of many from the Agon archives...

Furutech GTX NCF receptacle break in, how long

Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet

I can provide a bunch move Links on the subject from users that have experience with the Rhodium plated copper contacts on the Furutech GTX NFC outlet.

My bet is the OP’s problem is with the outlets.... 35 hours of burn-in is nothing. Some of the loads that are plugged into one of the outlets may be less than a half of an amp...

Laynes- I fail to understand what in your post is the actual SQ problem?

Your PL has noise suppression   circuitry. As mentioned, a good piece  of equipment with  adequate power supply is really all that's needed. You have the dedicated line, which is a good move.

If you're bent on having more audiophool stuff, there's AC regen or Audioquest Niagqra PLC's. Both get favorable reviews.

The PL is good enough to not need any of that stuff, but alas,  this is the hobby. 

I will take that bet @jea48, friendly of course. I am sure there are lots of phile reports of Rhodium sounding wonderful. Not hard to find many listening reports from philes are are simply impossible. Has not been a barrier since the start of audio.  We are not the most skeptical bunch.

In some cases things like a dedicated line ends up being more of an Insurance policy for best performance than otherwise and one might never accrue any concrete benefit. That appeals to many Audiophile types that are always on the lookout for whatever they think they might be missing.

The benefits of a dedicated line is more and cleaner power and current. How much that actually matters will vary case by case. Depending mainly on relative noise levels otherwise and does that even matter with the specific gear in play and how much current an amp must draw to function optimally. That’s about it.

Insurance policies may be beneficial for peace of mind alone if nothing else. YMMV.  Other than additional cost, a dedicated line done well should never hurt.

+1 @mijostyn

with unlimited product price target I can design power module for pre/amp/etc to take care of all possible AC power supply issues affecting SQ
