and also dependent upon taste. I am using the Acme outlets and would not describe them as bright; I would describe them as energetic, quiet, and they are definitely highly resolving. Have not tried any others as these suit my tastes just fine and who wants to swap outlets on a regular basis. I would perhaps try others at some point out of curiosity or in response to someone's recommendation. BTW, I use the cryo treated 15-amp version of the Acme. The Acme's definitely provided an immediately apparent and truly significant upgrade for me. I would recommend anyone just entering the power upgrade market to do the outlet upgrade prior to auditioning power cords.
I have not heard every outlet but do have the FIMs and am very happy with them. I also have dedicated power lines through an equi-tech balanced wall panel. There is a point where distinguishing between these outlets becomes a little difficult when you have clean dedicated power coming to your system. I think characterizing the FIMs as the worst is hyperbole at best. These are quality products, which are highly regarded by both professionals and end users which may suit some peoples taste and not others.
Thank you Ttathompaocom for your post. I now have another poster that I will put on my list, a list of those who will not waste my time to read posts with nothing of value to offer. Again, thank you very much.
I also think the Jena to be very good. Sorry I wasted my time responding. Sorry you did the same.
I lke the ACMEs too. I don't really like the idea of changing my system's frequency response at the AC outlet! I'd much rather do it right with speaker positioning, room acoustics, and even cables and ICs. The P&S $4 duplex that gets silvered by ACME is a winner in its NEUTRALITY and quietness.
Lak, Cryo at 408 hrs?
I was going to buy a liquid nitrogen cannister/squiter like the dermatologists use, and start squirt-frezing all my contacts and connectors. Are you sure this isn't sufficient?
I would think that the deep freeze occurs mighty quickly? I once had a wart removed from my...nevermind.
