I have not tried any of the above mentioned products, but this is what I did to my outlets. It's a worthwhile improvement at a relatively low cost. I first identify all the outlets along the electircal feed between the main panel and the outlet where I connect the stereo system to. These outlets typically are in the same room but double check to make sure. Next, I upgraded all the outlets to industrial grade outlets. Typically, when an electircian install an outlet, they plug the romex cable into the spring clip hole instead of tightening them with the brass screw. When I tried to reterminate them using the brass screw terminals, the screw frequently get overtightened and came loose. You won't get that problem with industrial grade outlets. Home Depot sells them for about $12. You can even upgrade to hospital grade outlets. The bottom line is, I was able to tighten all the outlet connections using industrial grade outlets. Was there any improvements? Honestly I don't know. But the upgrade made sense.
What are the best receptacles and plugs?
I am about to complete the wiring of my dedicated circuits and am wondering what receptacles and plugs A-goners feel are the best. The ones I am looking at are: PS Audio's Power Port, Furutech Gold Receptacle, Wattgate Gold Plug, Furutech Gold Plug and Furutech Rhodium Plug. There is a wide range of prices and wonder if the extra cost is worth the investment.
