Can a wall socket dramatically improve sound? Yes


I finally got an Isoclean ICP-002 wall socket installed today. At the risk of restarting the usual drivel that ac cannot be so simply improved, I would simply say my sound is greatly improved.

I was already using many components of the Isoclean filtering system with great satisfaction not unlike the rave review in 6moons, although I have yet to get the transformers. The improvement with the wall socket is greater than other improvements I have gotten with these components. I am frankly shocked. The noise floor is lowered with resulting improved detail that lends more realism. The top end is very clean and extended and the leading edge is startling. The sound stage is totally encompassing.

I treated everything with AudioTop before installing it.

Irvrobinson, yes, I believe what I hear.

bct1960, I was using a cryoed Hubbell.
For the budget minded, try the hospital grade plugs (orange in color) at Lowes or Home Depot. Before installation clean all the contact points, including the bare wire you are about to connect with Tea Tree Oil. (Tea Tree Oil can be purchased at any Wal-Mart for about $ 3.00) Tea Tree Oil is an excellent contact cleaner no matter how dirty your connections are, or how clean you may think they are sonically.

This is a very cost-effective upgrade.
I should start a thread--"The stuff you bought and were to lazy to install"-- I got 2 of them $120 outlets; wattgate I think, I got 3 of Albert's outlets--never installed. Got some of those roller block (knock-off versions)--never installed. When I was looking for a wife I was hoping to find a woman/with child,already-- I'm soooo lazzzy.
Avguygeorge: Find an electrician or handyman to help if you can't seem to get around to doing it yourself. But it's not rocket science. Even if you're all thumbs installation takes all of a few minutes. You'll be very glad you did!
