Upgrading wall outlets


Curious if anyone has found much difference in sound quality upgrading wall outlets.

I had 10 gauge wire (30 amp) dedicated line put in when the house was built. As time passed, I noticed a lack of dynamics and weak bass. One day the stereo was playing in the dedicated basement listening room as I was attending to the clothes dryer. I noticed a change in the sound as I touched the dryer. After some thought and running a line of copper wire from the dryer chassis to the brass water main pipe, I established a strong ground for the dryer and the system sounded better once again.

This experience led me to, TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS, open the door to the 200 amp service, and with a flat head screwdriver, tightening the grounds of every line in the service. Please trust me, this made a tremendous overall improvement in the system.

In addition to adding a PS Audio Power Plant Premier regenerator, replacing the orange "hospital grade" outlet with a PS Audio Power Port Premier was a great improvement. The new outlet tightened the sound and significantly improved transient detail and dynamic swing. My PS power cord is as in a vice grip in the Premier outlet.
