Other factors affecting sound

I'm building a dedicated room in my basement and was wondering if I should care about in wall electrical wiring and Receptacles. Do these generally make a big difference. I assume anything should be better than builders quality material. Are there any specific recommendations? What about whole house surge protection? Also, I have an option to install a second electrical box, is this helpful? I have a 5000sq ft house in suburban area with very few houses near me. I have clean and stable power. Recommendations appreciated.

@gwng8 - I still have my streamer, transport and DAC plugged into it, and in the process of taking each off one at a time for direct connection to the modified Furutech shielded distributors to listen for audible differences or betterments. I’ll update when I have a better idea - but clearly better with the amp and preamp direct.

I miss Miller Carbon's comments and wish he were back.  I sometimes totally disagreed with him, but that is part of the fun.  He also had a good dry wit.

He has his own website now. You can get all the mc you want.  I don't recall the name of the site.
