Your Favorite AC Outlets


I am getting ready to re-do my AC runs from my junction box to my listening room; going to add dedicated lines for my monoblocks. I want to upgrade my wall receptacles to good quality isolated grounded outlets. Have you tried the PS Audio outlets? Is their higher priced gold plated outlets that much better than their cheaper model? What brand(s) do you like best?

I think for the amount of money one has invested in their audio systems that it makes sense to upgrade the standard cheap outlet that is used by most electricians. Given that, I think the PS Audio, the Porter Port and the Voo-Doo Audio outlets represent a good value and I personally wouldn't spend anymore money on an outlet above and beyond the three mentioned above.

Thanks again Al and everyone else for the explanations! And SORRY to the OP for getting a little off topic.
"Believing one can hear difference's in AC Outlets. Is to think that a medium with long nails on Long Island,can talk to the dead."

Schipo,
If you haven't tried it, then you are not qualified to comment on it.
I've been experimenting with receptacles for years. Each receptacle has it's own characteristics and some equipment/cords seem to to better with a specific receptacle. If you looking for dynamics and great tight bass the Teslaplex is probably the best choice. They seem to be better with high current equipment. For certain components/systems they could be fatiguing. The Maestro has the most natural sound/presentation of the receptacles I have tried; however not as good as the Teslaplex in the lower frequencies. A combination has worked best for me.

Just close your eyes and click your heels and say there is a difference there is a difference.
