New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP!

Hope your 2 dedicated lines are on 2 separate phase on the main box. Not sure if being on the same phase will cause your system to sound "brittle". But might have "hum" in your system.

Thanks again for feedback fellas.
I've used Porter Ports before and like their sound once broken in. I don't have the budget for the expensive outlets, and really doubt the extra coin is worth it.
And FYI, Albert has his own website, "Porterhouse Audio." besides his ads here on A'gon.
And I should mention that I used a silver paste/grease on all of the ends of the Romex 10awg line. Recommended by a forum I read. I used it quite sparingly. I had also considered cryo treating the entire spool of Romex at a local cryo treatment place here in Tucson, but resisted getting that crazy.
Finally, for everyone's further knowledge, I only ran one (1) dedicated line, as the run is about 100 linear feet from my breaker box. Some might consider this a cardinal sin, but I used 10awg jumper wire and linked two of the Porter Port duplexes together inside one 4 gang plastic box.
Perhaps this was less than ideal for SQ?
And to finish everything off I installed nylon faceplates instead of standard plastic per Albert Porter's recommendation. I'm okay with that versus the $250 carbon fiber plates some hucksters sell to us audiophools.  I love my tunes, but still trying to hang onto some semblance of sanity!

I'm really enjoying all of the advice and suggestions, and for the record, the edginess of the sound has dissipated and the veil is beginning to lift somewhat... this after another 60 hours of the Parasound amp and fans running continually on the new outlets.

I'll update again in another week or so, but I'm feeling confident the ultimate end result will be worth the trouble of installing the new line.

Happy listening,

Do expensive power components  allow only "good" elections through. Where do the "bad" ones go. Silly.
