Fancy Audio Electrical Outlet Causing Problems?


After having an electrician install a modified electrical outlet purchased from Bolder Cables the sound of my audio system has waned. It sounds lifeless, limp, like it's trying to get up but can't. No pop, no zing, no excitement. Is it possible that this outlet is causing a reduction in the quality of the sound? The components: McIntosh MA6500 integrated amp, Rega Jupiter CDP and Tannoy speakers. I've messed around with different component, cables, etc and the sound still sounds lifeless. Ideas appreciated.

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.
I was just about ready to install dedicated circuits myself. Then I read your tale of woe. I think I'll wait awhile now.

You have my sympathy. I am convinced that Tim Taylor wired my house. I'm kind of afraid of the can of worms that will be opened up when I rewire. You know you're in trouble when the electrician giving the estimate is shaking his head and whistling.
Did you buy a Acme outlet? I just took one out of my system after 6 weeks. It killed my sound...now I'm using a Hubbell 5362-I and I'm very happy.
