CLEAN POWER . BETTER AC OUTLETS .

Hifisoundguy, I agree that power quality is a big priority. I have a Purepower regenerator since a dedicated line in my family room presented a complicated install. Using shielded power cords have also helped to improve the power delivery to my system. I will likely change my outlets from the FIMs I currently have to either Wattgates or Oyaide. For me, the variables that affect the power affect what I hear from my speakers as much or more than many of the other variables and tweaks.

Then why on earth would you listen to me!!

Foster_9, I think clean power and better ac outlets are two of the most important things you can do for a system. You need to do this first before you do anything else to your system!
