The weakest point in most peoples system is the 89-cent builders spec outlet that they have their $600 custom power cord plugged into. If one has a stock power cord, they should spend a few bucks to get a Hubbell and if they do have the custom power cord they should spend $50 on a PS Audio Outlet. The other choices get more expensive like running 220 over to truly protect your equipment from lightening and brown power. Changing out ones outlet is a fairly easier and inexpensive modification. Is the outlet going to cause anyone to say WOW? I doubt it (unless it was bad or corroded), but ones equipment is going to be happier in the long run. Saw a system the other day with a new dedicated 20 amp 110 VAC drop on a magnetic breaker using the old outlet that was attached to what the new dedicated drop replaced to plug his $4000 power conditioner and $900 custom Power cord into. That just does not make any sense to me much less logical sense (bet his wife wanted all the outlets to still match). Is $50 too much to pay for an outlet when you just spent $6000 on a dedicated drop, custom cord, and power conditioner? That's less then one percent of the total cost for one of the best outlets available! If one is not running plain jane stock everything, why would anyone leave their 89-cent cheapo stock outlet in place? -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: Squeezebox 3, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
