| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Tubegroover, I was only joking in my "orange improved the soundstaging" post. I was making fun of the "inter-note silences" and "microdynamics" bs I read in so many high-end reviews.As for Albert Porter... yes, I am saying that you've all been dup... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Saki70... orange is the industry standard color to signify isolated ground circuits, but outlets with isolated ground construction (phase, neutral, case ground, conduit ground) can be acquired in many colors. You only really need orange for someth... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? The orange color widened the soundstage considerably. The inter-note silences were also deeper and blacker. The only downside was that I noticed some softening of the micro-dynamics, but I only noticed it when using unbalanced interconnects. | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Sorry, Saki70, I was having entirely too much fun. Isolated grounding is highly recommended, if only to make sure that the outlets are indeed grounded properly! You'd be surprised how may homes/apts have screwed up grounding.One thing to watch for... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Rushton! Welcome to the down-with-knowledge-fest! So let me guess, you don't know anything about electricity, electronics or psychoacoustics either?I'm sorry, but I still don't understand. Perhaps you can educate me. Forget about electrical outlet... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter, how can one be so righteous about a *lack* of knowledge? I can understand a distain for engineering and science in a field like oil painting, or maybe even making musical instruments, but in a field like audio equipment, which wouldn... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter, my system is definitely not up to the task of letting me hear the difference between power outlets, or power cables for that matter. Nonetheless, as a previous poster insinuated, it isn't from Radio Shack either. A Levinson 39 feeds ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Sonofnorway, or whatever you're a son of... :)How are outlets different than a power cord? An outlet is just a female version of a power plug. Get it? And the power cord, how is that different than the wire in the wall? If this question can't be a... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Albertporter, I'm not sure how to respond... I think I have a concept of the importance of every part of a high-end system. I just have a different perspective than you do.I have to admit, though, I have been out of touch with a certain segment of... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Tbg, lighten up. I once read about the scientific method, and it did include something about observation, but I think that meant *valid* observation. Listening for differences without a double-blind environment is not considered scientifically val... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Boa2, this discussion started out, for me, to see if I could keep the original poster from being taken in by you snake-oil salespeople. After that I was simply surprised by the fervor of the counterattack, and the discussion became fun. I'm being ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Psychicanimal, stop telling me to shut up. Observation must be tempered by understanding, or you don't know what you're looking at. In this case, the very notion that something outside of the signal path can have such subtle effects on the signal ... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Psychic... I don't have to shut up. If you can't take the heat go away. Buy another $99 outlet or something. Throw pixie dust on your speakers. Paint your CD edges green. Take a pill. Get a shrink. Tell the moderator to throw me off. Maybe he or s... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Tobias... run the test yourself man. Jeez. Go for it. Report your results. 20% faster would require a 20% increase in power transfer. Maybe UHF was testing against a 30AWG power cord. | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Tbg... excuse me? I wouldn't know science if it bit me? And you're arguing that something outside of the signal path, that has no measurable differences whatsoever compared to another fully functioning device of the same type, can have subtle effe... |
