Great move I have been using FIM outlets for 20 years big upgrade for sure.
Replaced all my Living Room Outlets
Just wanted to share that I spent about $50 and an afternoon replacing all the outlets in my home with Eaton / Arrow Hart commercial grade outlets. I don't think it sounds better, but I sure feel a lot more peace of mind.
This house is about 16 years old and a rental for most of the time. Several outlets showed signs of wear, they either didn't grip a plug well or had too much movement when pressed. In addition all of them were back stabbed which is a fire hazard due to the ability of them to make poor contact, which is also bad news for a stereo.
I am lucky enough to have a dedicated circuit to the living room but with all the outlets daisy chained it made no sense to replace just the outlet at the stereo. They all had to go.
For about $50 I think this was a sound (haahahaha, I'm funny) investment.

@shosugi I didn't either, another A'goner recommended them to me, whose name I've forgotten. I end up using them in about half of my outlet replacements in this home, audiophile or not, but especially around the kitchen. |
