Power cord upgrade for ATC 100A Active Speakers

@jasonbourne71  It’s a slippery neurotic slope, indeed!  

I definitely recommend these rhodium plated outlets: Furutech GTX DR NCF High-End Performance Duplex Receptacle. But only after you installed direct lines. Both will give you an excellent improvement... very cost effective. 

I think spending your time and coin on Real improvements is the way to go. Placebo can be very expensive, you might get stuck in that BS rabbit hole. 

Shunyata Reasearch produces power/conditioning and cords that are competitive with any other manufacturer. The Placebo effect is a validation/cop out when fear and frugality dominate the thought process. HEA has unlimited potential why let skewed personal biases limit the possibilities.

Do you have dedicated power lines ? If you are running your system off 1 or 2 , 15 amp circuits that usually are available will most likely impact your performance. I’m currently doing a remodel and plan on adding a pair of dedicated 20 amp circuits for my system. Currently I have found a slight improvement with modest priced outlets and modest priced power cord upgrades. Once again we’re subject to someone preaching an absolute to others colored with insults. Maybe he could get off his opinionated ass and go to someone’s house that can demonstrate a difference. I know that based on my actual experience that I had slight gains in about half of my power cord experiments. BTW when I had my Rogue M-180 monos upgraded to Dark status , I had to pony up $250 for the rhodium binding posts, for me a total waste of money. But Rogue would not put the “ Dark “ certification stickers on unless I went full upgrade. So I paid $250 for an “ EGO “ sticker.  So yes I am aware of Bias Confirmation , but as Rule 62 states “ Don’t take myself too Damn Seriously “. Cheers , Mike B.
