Upgrading wall outlets

If water travels dozens of miles through dirty pipes, why does putting a filter at the end of my spout make it taste better?

While it's better to have the pure filtered spring water to start with, that isn't always an option. So I try to clean up the crap that comes in as much as possible before consuming it.

Start with some Porter Ports..Very inexpensive and work very well..You may never have the urge to go any further...I put mine in a few years ago and have been totally happy with them and have moved on to other things to worry about.......

Countingbackwards well put!!!

Countingbackwards, well put except that the outlet isn't a filter at all!

True, it is a convenient means for connecting an electrical piece of electrical equipment to available electrical power.

Important factors for a good connection.
*Electrical conductivity of material used.
*Contact surface area.
*Cleanliness of the connection.
*Contact pressure.

Other factors that come into play for receptacles used for powering audio equipment.
*Ferrous or non ferrous material used.
*Contact plating material used.
*Materials used for the body of the receptacle that holds the contacts in place.

The average convenience receptacle outlet used in home construction cost about 79 cents. It uses a steel ferrous back strap and nickel plated contacts. Contacts have bare minimum contact pressure. Receptacle body is made of cheap plastic.
