Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?

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.

Serious performance gains are available by upgrading power related components. Use of ACME Audio cryo treated outlets and exceptional power cords have TRULY enhanced my sytem performance(no placebo effect here). I have yet to try a conditioner or dedicated line, but look forward to doing so in the future. I think the ACME outlets have a trial use policy if I remember correctly. I have not tried any of the other outlets mentioned, but like everyone else appreciate all the comparitive commentary I can find. The ACME's work so well though that I do not feel the need to try the others at this time. Maybe someday. Do not be deceived, power products can make a BIG difference and are definitely worth checking out.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I DO believe that upgrades such as outlets, cords, etc. can (and do) make a difference.

I just wasn't sure if upgrading an outlet without a dedicated line would do anything.

Thank you.

As an Engineer I can understand how / why DC-10's fly and aricraft carriers float; although still amazed when I see it. We see it everyday it is easily proven to our visionary (eyes)and auditory (ears) senses. However, differences in sound are much more difficult to assertain given the subjectivness of short / long term hearing memory and the unreliability associated with it. This is not to say you don't hear the improvements or the lack thereof that you state. I am simply stating a scientific fact that hearing memory is extremely unreliable and subjective at best. The problem is exacerbated further given the fact that you can not directly A / B the component or outlet in this case. You must shut the equipment down change the outlet in some cases and then power everything back up and then do the comparison. What I am saying is there is a time lag between the events (comparisons) unless someone has figured a way around this. This time lag makes the event even more diffeicult to evaluate and the reults even more unreliable; scientifically and statistically speaking.

Now having said that. I am not doubting your comments or the improvements you state. And I am not looking to solicite a bunch of negative comments from any of you. You hear what you hear, all scientific mumbo / jumbo aside, and as long as you enjoy the music that is what is important.
