Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?

Hdm & Bob, as I’ve said before; it’s a matter of synergy!

Maxgain, who would beleive what honeybees make?

So there you have it Mat. If Blake can realize improvements with his economical setup then certainly you can as well.
BTW I'm not laughing at anyone's equipment here; we all started out from typically humble beginnings, myself included. Much of my very first rig was home-made by myself as a teenager.

Hi Bob: Certainly no insult intended to you-always enjoy reading your posts. I'm perhaps a bit unusual around here in the sense that I'm just trying to pull every last bit of performance out of reasonably cheap (but not necessarily bad or bad sounding) gear. That being said, it's a bit weird to think that I have more money tied up in the power cord that feeds my line conditioner and two outlets than my digital front end. I've also listened to a couple of systems (one at the dealer and one in a private home) in the past few months that were worth, at retail, about 10X what I have invested, and, yes, they were better, but not so much better to make me want to lay down the cash, even if I had it. I can remember when Ivor Tienenbraun's "the source is most important" was very controversial. Perhaps "power" is the true source and this is just being realized now. Probably also controversial.

You obviously know nothing about me or about my experience, but you try to characterize/dismiss me and my response in a tired, empty, and rude manner. Opinions, logic, and priorities do vary, but there can be no excuse for your behavior. Please stay constructive or stay away.

Upgrading the electrical outlets in your room is a must. If you are skeptical about it go to Home Depot and buy an isolated ground 20 amp outlet, orange in color, hook it up and let your ears decide.

If you like the improvement then buy the PS Audio outlets, they are hard to beat at $50.00 . There are some very expensive outlets in the market that are not worth the expenses, over $159.00 a piece.

Please be advised that must supply ground to either one of this two isolated outlets.
