Compared to a lot, my friend

You need to do a jaunt over to Tweaks for the past few years and read up. Lots of us have tested the difference, and believe me, there is a significant difference!

I'm on an extremely tight budget for this hobby, but I've found that the better audio grade outlets and plugs are well worth it and far below the cost of all the expensive gear/cabling changes most go through for the same results.

FWIW, I went from wall crap to P&S, tried Hubbells (but didn't like them), to Furutech and then Oyaide. I must tell you that the jump from everything in the standard electrical supply catalogs up to Furu and Oyaide was substantial sonically.

I know it seems ridiculous. But it works and it works consistently well in lots of systems.

The British plugs and outlets, for example, are truly beefy compared to that in the US. But that's far from the only variable affecting the sound. The metals used, the housings used, the polish/surface on the metals -- all make a very very big difference. Were the issue beef alone, it would be a different story.

So please don't assume this is all BS. IME, it's definitely NOT!
