I'm using a cheap outlet that came with the house (1989) and a $50 Monster power bar/surge protector for the CDP. My amp sounds best right out of the wall. No dedicated line, and I do get variability in hash level based on day and late at night. When its sounding good, I do love it, cheap as it may be.

I've tried two aftermarket outlets now. Both gave a significantly more robust presentation, but less fluid sounding.

Seems like I've disliked my system for a period each time I treated my IC terminations in the past too. Maybe it just exposes the weaknesses of the rest of my system (hash), but I don't understand the change in fluidity/coherence of the speaker drivers that I perceive.
