Upgraded AC outlets
Alexander and others: Check this out. Sorry about the pdf file on the Leviton page; it will take a little while to download. Look at page 4 of the Leviton site (specs on hosp. grade levitons)http://www.leviton.com/pdfs/ind%20receptacles/b-616%20in... 
Upgraded AC outlets
Clueless: I've never really done any male plug comparisons, but I have used the Hubbell 5266CCN with very good results. I cut off the molded plug on my turntable's power supply and re-terminated with this plug with excellent sonic results (cost of... 
Upgraded AC outlets
Dan from Dedicated Audio: I think we've been through this before. If I was a betting man, I'd bet a lot of money that the Wattgate is indeed a re-badged receptacle. Take a close look at the Wattgate info, then go to the Leviton site and take a clo... 
My Next Miles Davis Disc?
"Sketches" just doesn't do it for me either. Just to take you in a totally different (but still very interesting) Miles direction, I'd recommend Bitches Brew. I like the mid fifties to early 60's Miles stuff alot, but Bitches Brew is also a great ... 
Review: Foundation Research LC-2 AC filter
Stehno: A couple of questions. Where and how are you lifting or floating the grounds in your system? And would the LC-1 be sufficient for a 75W channel integrated; is there a guage difference between LC-1 and LC-2? Thanks

Which power receptacle to use?
Sonic Genius: I mean no disrespect, but properly treated cryoed Hubbell 8300's or 5362's, are, as I stated above, considerably better than their non-cryoed stock counterparts. I would agree with you that for $20 or so the stock Hubbell 8300 is a v... 
Which power receptacle to use?
I also own cryoed Hubbells from Alan Kafton at World Power, although mine are 5362's. I've also used the Pass and Seymour spec grades mentioned by Natalie and numerous other receptacles, and there is ABSOLUTELY no comparison. By the way, I am runn... 
Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Matty: I've got the Pass & Seymour Natalie is so hot on and would be happy to send it your way as well (you can keep it if you want.) My refrigerator is in fact running on one, but once you try the others, that's probably where it will end up ... 
Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Hi Bob: Certainly no insult intended to you-always enjoy reading your posts. I'm perhaps a bit unusual around here in the sense that I'm just trying to pull every last bit of performance out of reasonably cheap (but not necessarily bad or bad soun... 
Sibilance how do I get rid of it?
Hey Natalie: There's no mention of Denon in his post. And we're missing you're point? My experience with a very cheap (and I mean VERY cheap) digital source is that it benefits greatly from power tweaks. Here's a thought for you: Power is the true... 
Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Bob: If you're not sure about Matty's Creek, I'm sure that you'd find my equipment laughable, although it's set up pretty well and tweaked with lots of cheap, and some not so cheap tweaks. And the difference among the outlets, even in my set-up, i... 
Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Lak is correct and Alan sells an excellent product. I have no dedicated lines either. This will give you a huge bang for the $$$ improvement in your system. 
Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge
Twl: Posted at Audioasylum and already received a response back, although without the actual effective mass. I am probably borderline. You and others might be interested in this website:www.vinylengine.com 
Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge
Twl: Thanks for the info. The FT3 is a straight arm with a fixed headshell, a step up (significantly I think) from the MMT at the time. Has a removeable weight at the end of the arm to be used with heavier cartridges (which I'm currently using wit...
