MRI grade vs Hospital grade electric outlets

Good Summary:
ITS ELECTRICITY THAT COMES FROM AN OUTLET,NOT SOUND.
Contact pressure is the primary difference between good and bad outlets.

- if you have really bad electrical power, then buy a transformer

- if you have ground loops then buy a Tripp-Lite or other good strip

- if you have a deep seated religious belief that defies the laws of electricity, then do a blinded test of the magical expensive outlets

or just rub snake oil on your outlets

No personal experience with outlets, other than replacing existing one that seemed fine, with another generic, but "hospital" quality that was a couple of bucks more.

I figure the show rigs at hotels are plugged into a generic outlet no better than what I have. Some systems sound spectacular. I wonder if any companies installed nice outlets for their gear? Hmm.. 

Price and effort, the outlet change doesn't cause finanacial damage as the rest of audio madness. 

Install the outlets you have now, turn away and run!

Or, demo a Power Plant and  determine if you hear a difference. I did.
What really convinced me was plugging in the plasmaTV.Great pic from the wall with stock cord. Nicer with aftermarket. Plugged into to PP, colors /detail increased still improved. I guess I have crappy electricity?(for audio)

I looked at E-bay and Amazon for snake oil, as Randy-11 suggested. However, there are so many different kinds, and brands to choose from. There was a guy downtown, on the street who I bought a Rolex from for $40.00, and he threw in a one oz bottle of snake oil for free. Not sure whether I should trust it, as it isn't any audio brand I recognize, and it doesn't mention which kind of snake it comes from. Should I use this stuff or get the good stuff for $1,5000.00 per oz? I'm guessing a lot of members have had experience with trying snake oil. Your experiences and thoughts, please.

I just got the Porter Ports wired to the outlet for my system and I a bit puzzled as I honestly expected zero improvement.  I have called BS on the "fuse-heads" and a boatload of other tweaks I have tried and rejected.  While my impressions are purely subjective, I am apt to concede that familiar music has taken on a bit more vividness and the LF seems a bit more impactful.  The music just seems a bit more alive, with a greater degree of clarity.  In contrast to other folks in this thread, it is nowhere close to upgrading my amplifier.  Still, viscerally, I am liking what I am hearing and the $80 investment for two PP outlets strikes me as a fair price for a tweak.  

At any rate, the PP outlets do grab my canted heavy power cords with far more authority than the outlets they replaced.  A cheaper route would be to upgrade your basic AC receptacles to the standard non-cry-treated Hubbell 5362 receptacles, which is what the PP outlets are, and if you get an improvement in sound, that will be dandy, but for sure you will have a much more secure connection for your power cords.  Cheers, Whitestix
