Differences in electric outlets

I have PS Audio Power Ports I switched from Pass & Seymore hospital grades. Can't say I heard much if any improvement but figured what the heck I've spent this much on my system already why short change it here. I would suggest you try a couple of brands and hear for yourselve. Relative to everything else in most systems this is a pretty cheap upgrade or experiment.

As to what brands to try I would suggest Pass & Seymore (cheap outlet about 6.50 at most electrical supply houses). Hubbel or Porter Ports (Which I believe is a Cryo'ed Hubbel) PS Audio Power Port and the Wattgate which looks interesting but expensive at around 100 bucks used 150 new.

Also if you havn't done so already a dedicated circuit is a good idea.

I use two Porter Ports on two dedicated lines. I'm glad I have them but I don't believe there is any way to prove they are any better than stock hospital grade outlets. I certainly don't hear the orgasmic differences that others
attribute to this and other tweaks. I'm a skeptic. If I have to struggle to hear differences I believe those differences are suspect. If I can easily hear a difference, without prompting, then I believe it is real.

At present have a PS Audio power port in play
Was not expecting to hear much of a difference but what I heard was nice
It tightened up everything, gave a better bass definition and had it from plug in on.
From something that was tried on a lark and given to me as a gift, not much was expected but it workes others may work better, have not had the chance to try them but do intend to down the road.

This afternoon, I've just swapped out a PS Audio Power Port for an FIM outlet. Doesn't sound worse, can't say it sounds better. I suppose some would say you've got to let the new stuff burn in before you can tell if there's an improvement. I'm like Narrod, if I've got to strain to hear a difference, I'm skeptical there's anything meaninful going on.

Thanks to everyone thus far with you comments. I am somewhat of a skeptic as well, i.e. bought a few different power cords, PSAudio and a few others and think that the only one I really noticed a difference from the stock cords on was Audio Art Cables PC.

Photon46, is there a 'name' that FIM stands for, any reason you went with that?
