Replacing generic RECEPTACLES


How important is it to replace your generic receptacles with audio grade receptacles . I already replaced my stock power cords to high end Shunyatas. Would it still be necessary to still change my generic receptacles to audio grade?

"Makes an audible difference" someone posted, no it doesn't . It can't , there is no logical reason for an outlet to upgrade sound…same goes for power cables…electrons are still flowing at the same speed…..
You have hundreds of fat of copper in your home and you think changing the last three feet of that is going to make a difference at what comes out of your speakers….yea, ok
Ahh yes, the old "first xxx of wire, so..." If all you do is make up fantasy theory in your head, that may work well. If you actually get the fancy wire for your powercord and TRY IT OUT you may discover, as many of us have, that it can, and does make a difference.
Elizabeth...why should we try?  I've done that with speaker wire and interconnects and found no difference over appropriate and inexpensive cables.  Why waste more money on something that anyone really intelligent and logical would discern as a "gimmick."  Besides, if I tried and reported no difference/improvement, you YaySayers  would retort (incessantly) that my ears are out of whack or my system isn't good enough to "resolve" the improvement.

There’s no reason for you to experiment with power cables - your mind is already made up. It’s called confirmation bias. Your assertion that "anyone really intelligent and logical would discern as a ’gimmick’ " an improved cord isn’t consistent with the facts, btw, but that doesn’t really matter. Your mind is made up.
