Your Favorite AC Outlets
Without getting technical (and I might not be capable of that) for the money I find the Porter Ports very hard to beat although there are a few outlets out there that probably sound better but at a much higher cost.Remember this is all very subjec... 
Did you get your new Music Direct catalogue yet?
Yes, very nice catalog! 
Emission Labs 300B vs Shuguang Black Treasure
I have never heard the Emission Labs 300B tubes, I have no idea what they sound like however I do own the following: Harmonix 300b EH, Psvane 300B BT, Shuguang Black Treasures 300B-Z, Sophia Electric Royal Princess 300B and the Takalsuki TA 300B w... 
Sophia Royal Princess 300b quality
Warranty period is one year if the tube fails. 
300B or 2A3?

What to upgrade?
Do you use any room treatments for the acoustics?That could possibly be the culprit?With that said I must admit that I'm not familiar with your current speakers or integrated amp. Can you tell me more about them?

Installing Dedicated Lines.... Need advise
Several years ago I did a lot of wire (10/2) and outlet comparison testing’s (check out my older reviews and comments).I concluded the following to answer your questions:1) It's a personal matter of diminishing marginal returns.2) I did not notice... 
Shunyata Venom 3 question
15 amp IEC connection is your typical power cord and it will work. The 20 amp IEC connection is configured differenly and looks different. The purpose is to assure that you are using a 20 amp circuit breaker. If you Google it you will see the diff... 
What power conditioner will help in my situation?
Personally, I don't think a power conditioner will fix that problem.Is there no other circuit you can use even if it means running an extension cord from a different outlet in a different room? 
Power Cables diminishing returns
