Consider new outlets too. I have the standard 15 amp circuits in my living room . I upgraded the 2 outlets to Hubbell . When I replaced some outlets in other areas of the house , I noticed that the connectors were a cheaply made push in spring ( no tension screw). List price on 2 Hubbell outlets is about $90. They have beefy screw connectors and grip my power cords extremely well . And like everything Audio , take time to settle in . Alao be advised that mine are 20 amp outlets on a 15 rated wire and breaker . So I only use 15 amp cords . Many people here have gone to dedicated 20 amp circuits , but that’s above my level at this time . So it’s my room and my gear , so it’s a hazard free situation . If I move I’ll put some 15’s in and take them with me . But to think that my entire system was powered through 2 outlets that cost about $0.75 ea and I’m pushing $10k in gear was an easy choice . So look at the reviews and pick a price point and change your outlets. My experience is that this will compliment what you are striving too achieve. I would also like to comment on the well founded recommendations and the politeness demonstrated in this thread . Happy Listening , Mike B.
