Thoughts on my current system

I will put my vote in to replace your Wattgate outlets.  The Wattgate product are decent for what you pay (low cost), but they are made from brass.  I have found that brass has a really negative affect on the sound -- it imparts a very shouty sterile type of sound.  I took a quick look at the Shunyata outlet -- it's made from brass as well!! ugh.

One user here recommends the Oyaide R1.  This may be a good choice as it's made from beryllium copper.  However, it uses platinum and palladium plating - which I cannot guess as to the sonic character.

I have found the Furutech FPX-Cu un-plated copper outlets are very nice and neutral in sound.  The gold plated and rhodium plated both introduce their own character to the sound, which you may like or not like.

Whatever you choose it up to you, but I do agree that the Wattgate outlets have go to go! lol.

Yes, another vote.  At least connect the amp directly to the wall outlet.  The amps need a LOT of current and that is restricted by the power conditioner.  Also, amplifiers are less sensitive to conditioning, when compared to preamps and sources.  They have an enormous transformer and capacitor bank to help with filtering.

I looked over your equipment list and I see that every single piece has Class A circuits (CD, preamp and amp).  That's a LOT of Class A in the signal chain, in my opinion.  Do you feel that you want more clarity in the sound?  Generally, in my experience, too much Class A in the signal chain will start to remove clarity and crispness in the sound.  Sure, the music will become fuller with more bass/midbass, but it can start to get muddy and "separation of instruments" will begin to suffer. 

I like to have just one/two Class A devices in my audio chain, usually just a Class A preamp.  Then the amp and source should be standard circuits (not Class A).  The Parasound is biased high into Class A (I don't know how much) like the 8008.  I believe the 8008 had a bias of 26 watts into Class A.

I don’t know if you would find anything on the net about brass connectors. I just happened to discover it after some different combinations. I actually had Hubbell brass plugs and Hubbell brass outlets on my main home theater system for the longest time. On a completely different system, I had just happen to put in a power cord with the Wattgate brass plugs and all of a sudden I said "hey, this is the same type of sound I’m getting in my home theater" -- it was not a good sound. That’s how I discovered the effects of brass components.

Here’s a link to some of my impressions on Furutech/Neotech connectors:
