Replacing generic RECEPTACLES

Yes, for a duplex under $50.00 I recommend Porter Ports available from Albert Porter here on AudiogoN. For more expensive offerings checkout Furutech and Oyaide outlets at VH Audio.

Yaysayers: Willing to spend money and experiment with different aftermarket items to see if they can improve the sound of their systems. Usually have high resolution systems that can reveal the differences (good or bad) that a tweek might bring. They will take the time to carefully listen and decide if there is an improvement in the sound, just a difference in the sound or no effect at all. It takes time & effort to do and is not for everyone.

Naysayers: Not willing to spend the money, because there is no need, as the end result is already known to them. It can't possibly make a difference, so why bother. Nays like to argue with the Yays even after the Yays have actually done the experiment! They bring up expectation bias or a placebo effect or make negative remarks like: "Makes an audible difference" someone posted, no it doesn't . It can't , there is no logical reason for an outlet to upgrade sound…same goes for power cables" or " You have hundreds of fat of copper in your home and you think changing the last three feet of that is going to make a difference at what comes out of your speakers" or " Why waste more money on something that anyone really intelligent and logical would discern as a "gimmick." or " Yes...my mind is made up...because, among other attributes, I am intelligent and smart." or " Yaysayers seem to have no concept of the value of money and the value of products."

Now, if you are not interested in getting the best performance from your system, why are you participating in these forums? Is it to make fun of Yays? Is it because you are too cheap to spend money & time to experiment? Or, is it that you just need to be right? STOP insulting those of us that have taken the time & effort to improve and appreciate our systems.

Don't forget rule #1, do not listen to roberjerman or dynaquest4.

Please don’t use "truth" & "trumps" in the same sentence. The latter doesn’t know what the former is.

" I just think that too often people are being taken advantage of."

Do you think it is your mission to denounce cable upgrades, outlets and the like to save us from ourselves? You do know it is a tired argument at best.

There is no problem, so therefore no need for a solution.

Good luck with that, you are preaching to the choir. We have heard it all before, more of an irritant than anything else.

"consumers are brainwashed into spending hundreds of dollars on power cables with unsubtantiable qualities."

How many, reading this thread, feel this has happened to them?  
How many think "unsubtantiable" is a word?

Oh no geoff, say it isn't so ...

Yep, that's it, don't you feel left out?

" I’m a contributing member and I don’t hurl insults at other members."

Very noble stance sw, it might have been your original intent, however as this thread progresses, recent posts have you straying from your said stance.
