Fancy Audio Electrical Outlet Causing Problems?

Man I feel for you. I have done this to myself a number of times over the years. You make a decision to go for better quality and it screws up!

The good news is, it's only an outlet. Worse case is that if it does not break in and you determine that it is the problem, I have no doubt you may return it.

Boulder Cable is not interested in unhappy customers, you may simply put the old receptacle back or try something with a proven history ( I'm thinking Hubbell. )

Can you tell I'm ready to resolve this! I just put the Jupiter in place of my Planet in my office system and it sounds byootayful! So the problem is not the Jupiter (thank god). Wow, what a CDP.

At last a clue!!! You said the other outlet was un-grounded.

Was the new and improved outlet a grounded outlet? (probably)

Did the Electrician ground this outlet from a source that was not present before?

Have you added in a new ground source from somewhere?

Have you tried lifting the ground on the new outlet?

Institutions aren't as bad as you think. I'd really consider using dedicated power, It's quite the tweak.

I sold both of my power conditioners after adding 6 circuits to my gear

Ask Albert how many dedicated circuits he uses, I DARE YOU!!!!!! :^)

What did we do before dedicated circuits, line conditioners, and after-market power cords? Just enjoy the music?

Yeah, but then we found that dedicated circuits not only eliminated the lights in the room dimming (Good reason to give wife)when the amp turned on, but improved the sound as well. My Hubbels from Fatwyre.com worked well and still do after several years, for what it's worth.
