Hi Grant, thanks for your interest.I agree with everything you say. My first foray into higher quality electrical sockets came from a recommendation on this website for a Pass & Seymour 5241-I hospital grade receptacle. Bob Crump, the author of that post, had tested many sockets and had chosen that model as a particularly good-sounding one. I don't think it's available anymore, but there are plenty of inexpensive alternatives to be had and this should be the starting point for anyone wanting to experiment further in this area.
To my ears there is a very beneficial audible difference. I moved from the P&S 5241-I, to the original PS Audio Power Port and now to the Power Port Premier and I've heard a substantial sonic improvement each time. Experimentation is key here, and there are a few good manufacturers to choose from--PS Audio is simply the one I'm most familiar with. Many investigators report different characteristics for different sockets--a search on this Asylum will reveal many posts on this subject.
The P3 has raised the bar way beyond what I reasonably expected for a replacement of this kind, and I'm simply reporting it, albeit excitedly! However PS Audio's 30-day trial period does take the risk out of your $99 speculation ;-)
Thanks again.
