Best outlet

Jamesw20:

FWIW, the cryo'd Hubbell "HBL8100IG" outlets I mentioned are unplated.

Again, made of quality materials specifically for isolated ground circuits - and with GREAT grip, which I believe is the most important quality for AC connectors.

Some people like blur sound, lack of details will suit these ears well ;-)

The best that I have found are the Isoclean gold ac outlets.....

I purchased two Porterports from Albert a couple years ago when I put in two dedicated circuits. The improvement was most noticeable over your basic Leviton.

About a year ago, I purchased a Shunyata SR-Z1 and installed it on my amp circuit (two monoblocks). It made a slight but noticeable improvement. Shortly after, I purchased another SR-Z1 to put on the source circuit. The improvement dropped my jaw to the floor. Silky smooth detail and a way lowered noise floor.

About six months ago, I replaced the Hydra-4 on the source circuit with an Isoclean 80A3 power conditioner. My jaw dropped again at the lowered noise floor, greater inner detail, and holographic dimensions of the soundstage that resulted. All my audio nerd buddies agree that it's an incredible product.

I've just moved my system to another room and moved the two dedicated lines also. For the time being, the monos are plugged into the same outlet as before. However, because of the layout, I am going need to put in another outlet and then run the monos into two outlets. I plan to buy an Isoclean ICP-002G for the source circuit and will report back on how it compares to the SR-Z1.

A little late in reporting back, but hey . . .

The Isoclean ICP-002 outlet was a most noticeable improvement over the Shunyata SR-Z1 on my dedicated source circuit: greater inner detail, clarity, resolution, faster, etc.

After reading the 6moons review, I subsequently splurged and bought the Walker Extreme SST and applied it to my panel box connections, and to the outlet connections. Not much to say except that the stuff REALLY WORKS! I probably gained 2-3 db of volume, wider/deeper soundstage, even more resolution. Just amazing.

I have since star wired my amp circuit, and have an outlet for each monoblock. I have ordered two more Isoclean outlets. They are on the way now.
