Audiolabyrinth,

Did you see my question on plating in the other thread? (Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others). No one attempted to answer it but, I still think it may be relevant to this type of discussion.

I have been using strictly Furutech receptacles with great results. They are very well built and overall product finish is first rate. I am using the Gold finish on smaller components and Rhodium finish on the power amps.

The main advantages of audiophile grade receptacles are solid mechanical contact and reduced contact resistance of combined receptacle and power plug. These will provide more bass definition when compared to regular receptacles. I've used Walker SST silver compound on all my power plugs to further reduce contact resistance and noise. These 2 tweaks will bring your sound to another level.
