Replacing generic RECEPTACLES


How important is it to replace your generic receptacles with audio grade receptacles . I already replaced my stock power cords to high end Shunyatas. Would it still be necessary to still change my generic receptacles to audio grade?

sleepy says"it is very unfortunate that some members of this forum insist on being disrespectful and unreasonable when presented with facts"  What facts have you presented? Have you ever tried an audiophile outlet? If not, I'm really not seeing anything remotely scientific about your facts to disprove they can improve ones system. Perhaps you should get together with your peer review board (dyna & logluvr) & discuss what you hear after performing this experiment. Until then, you're really just going off of a theory, or worse (gasp)... an opinion.    
" The problem is optimization beyond the point of excess" Haven't found that point yet sleepy, but thanks.  
sleepy, A couple things:
" The laws of physics haven’t changed since the 80’s"
Agreed, however power cord, interconnect, speaker wire, & audiophile outlets have.
" The insults from some members are probably a reflection of insecurity that stems from lack of understanding how power supplies and amplifiers really work"
Or (try to think outside of yourself for a minute)...
They are probably just tired of being told what they are actually hearing is not reality because another professor or engineer has been taught this by like minded professors or engineers that read all the facts required for audiophiles to understand from books that are really really old written by men who never heard recorded music at a level that even approaches the lower fringes of high fidelity.  
sleepwalker, I couldn't disagree more. I suspect your system or hearing isn't up to the task. Because of that, nobody else's is either. To use your words... What "cockamamie bulls@$&t".   

elizabeth, I look forward to your review
Elizabeth,
How do you like them (sound-wise) after putting some hours on them? 
Put an SR red in the outlet powering my mono blocks. I have a little over 50 hours on it now & all I can say is it's the absolute best upgrade I've ever done for $100. Now I'm going to have to get the blue one for the outlet feeding the exactpower transformer, which feeds the rest of the system (LOL, kind of). 
dynaquest4, You may be on to something with the freezer idea... Now just go away
