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
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. |
@mc1969 Again you have stated your opinion so what is your point by repeating yourself 3 times other than being argumentative! You are not convincing anybody that they aren't hearing an improvement in their system just because you don't . I will admit that with conventional thinking I did agree with your opinion until I started getting serious about listening to and improving my system, the same being with a power cable where only the size gauge matters or even a fuse is a fuse , but since I and many others have tried different outlets , power cables and even fuses and found that sound can be influenced in ways that were not thought of in 1969 .

@mc1969 , sure you do. These things come with a 30 day money back satisfaction guarantee, you know. 😉 The fact that you don't have your system posted, and more importantly, used the term "snake oil" in your response above, as well as your need to try to prove yourself both more capable and more knowledgeable than everyone else leads me to believe you're not being entirely honest. Have a great day and happy listening.

I had really poor experience with the material quality of Furutech locking bananas, and I’ve stayed away from the brand ever since. If I ever spend money on boutique connectors again it will be on WBT. No amount of cry-deep-space-cosmic-ray-treated hype will convince me to spend a penny on Furutech ever again. Also did a whole write-up on Wattgate products. The more I have worked with and used boutique connectors the less impressed I am and for outlets will absolutely stick to Leviton/Hubbell/Eaton where I'm never going to be worried about the material or design quality. |
