I agree with Garfish. It is impossible to call any one outlet the "Best". I have a combination of FIM outlets and Hubbell outlets in my system. As component changes occur in my system, so do my choices of the combination, making me believe that our choices directly reflect our systems. (Sounds like cabling, doesn't it?) Knowing the change desired (tonality, dynamics, bottom end, etc.) that is desired is only half of the battle. I can say that from my experience, those offset screwdrivers available at your local electrical supply house are well worth the money!
Outlet shoot out
OK I am doing new outlets this month. What to use?? Standard issue Hubbel hospital grades? PS Audio? FIM? other?? what do you use and why? what else did you try? There have been a few threads on outlets but I don't recall seeing one comparing them, also perhaps a different outlet for amps and sources, anyone try that? This is a relatively cheap tweak(expensive outlets are under $100) and about time I tried it! Thanks for any input.
