jhills & shadowcat,
I get it that it makes little sense that audiophile power cables or outlets would make much difference (if any) in regard to sound quality. I didn't believe it either until I dove in & tried it. There is no going back now. It improves clarity top to bottom. It also improves sound stage width, depth, & individual placement of instruments. The nice thing is, it's not expensive. My outlets are $100 each & power cables are mostly oyaide tunami's, with one furutech, & one synergistic research. I've heard more improvement from these than I have from audiophile IC's or speaker cables (which are also important).
