Wall outlets
Hey everyone, don’t kill me I know it’s been talked about a bit. I’m am currently about to upgrade my wall outlet. Commercial vs Audio outlets. The general consensus is commercial hospital outlets would work but they can strip the coating off our nice power cables. I have talked a bit with @audphile1 on this matter. Furutech has my attention. I have considered upgrading my power cable to the Furutech DPS 4.1 cable and get a Furutech outlet with the same finish. A friend of mine is an electrician and has offered to install a new outlet behind my rack. He said I could pay with a case of beer. Haha. Sorry if I started a new 🔥🔥🔥. The forum is fun, there is far more knowledge here than we are going to find anywhere else IMO. Also I finally got my virtual system up for anyone to take a look. Thanks everyone
@mc1969 As a retired Biomedical Equipment Technician I understand a little about electricity and electronics . As an ever improving DIY type audiophile I heard a difference , I'm not sure what your point you're trying to make ? But thanks for repeating yourself about " electricity has no sound " , if you can't hear a difference then you've stated your opinion you can't hear it .

It cost nothing...I was lucky all that was already done in my new smaller house... I was in the obligation to sell my larger house... My system there was connected to a secondary electrical grid on the second floor.. The sound quality was impacted negatively, but i never realize this ... I had been conscious of this only on my new house... My audio system is near the main electrcal panel in the basement...The improvement was noticeable at the first minute of listening... I will change the wall plug and all will be done for the best... Another great improvement was using a small battery dac... No connection to the grid or my computer at all... Save the amplifier on the direct main panel line ...

Keep telling yourself that 😂 @coralkong my system is as or more revealing than yours. Have 5 dedicated lines, and all those outlets are still in place. The .99 cent outlet is what I plug my laptop into. So when you go to a audio show they replace all the outlet in that hotel room? If it really made a difference they would, but they do not. You have been bit by the Snake Oil Salesmen and so was I. I did my experiment and found ZERO benefit, Also same with the vaunted cable lifters. Now I do use quality cables (Synergistic, DH Labs, Transparent, LossLess) I also use quality power distributors ( IsoTek and Wisdom Cable). I have Puron (4) and NFC Power (4) filters as well and they made a substantial improvement as they actually have filtration qualities unlike a $200.00 outlet that simply provides a ground. Also have the Puritan Ground Master (made minimal difference as we upgraded our whole house ground when upgrading our dedicated lines),. My journey is complete and I am enjoying Piano Concerto No 18 in B-Flat by Vladimir Ashkenazy and it is giving me goose bumps. I am sure it becasue of the Cardas Duplex that my SPL m1000s are plugged into. |
@vair68robert one more time "electricity has no sound" it may transfer noise.

I'm really not following why you blame the outlet and not Audioquest's cheap plating procedure. Personally, I think the message here is that Audioquest's products don't hold up. |
