Ok...after reading all the hype about boutique outlets and such I decided to buy an oyaide SWO-XXX (85$)
I have only three pieces of gear. Which 2 should get plugged into the Oyaide?
They are....60wpc intergrated tube amp
Rega P25 turntable
Standalone phonostaqe
For comparison I also decided to buy a cryoed P&S 8262ai (17$)so the loser will get plugged into that.
In the past I replaced a cheap residential outlet with a more robust version (about 5$) I found at home depot. I only bought it because the boutique power cord I was given as a gift was too heavy, the weight of it simply would pull it right out of the socket.
Lo and behold I heard differences right off the bat, and this was before I had ever heard a lick about such tweaks. It simply was better in many ways plus it gripped the garden hose power cord like a tight ....well...you get the idea..
Soo...if this outlet at 16 times the cost is even twice as better as that one it will be money well spent. I got the sneaking suspicion that the 16$ outlet will be very very close to the oyaide...at least on my modest system.
For the record I must say that the power cord looks cool...but I am not sure it does...anything.
