Just added a Powerpoint to system.

70.236.87.130

Installed one of the original PPts yesterday. Installed it. Immediately didn't like it at all. Much like DeafEar's initial response. Really harsh, bright, grainy, lousy soundstage and strange focus.

Sent an email to the company and got a response within 24 hours. They asked me to let it burn in for 200 hours and try another listen. I will do that at somepoint. Due to the brittle sound, I removed the PPt and put the PS audio outlet on the line powering my subwoofer. After a few months, I will switch it out and see if it sounds different on my main system.

Went to Mennards and replaced main setup outlet with a Pass and Seymour 20 amp wall outlet for another $10 bucks.

I swear...it is possible to hear the difference in wall outlets if you have a highly resolving system. I am totally serious, even though this was my first time messing with outlets to determine the effects, if any, on sound quality.

My main rationale for messing with the outlet in the first place was to increase the tension/conductivity of the outlet to the Emotiva amp I have. I thought a better outlet would allow it to "pull the AC more efficiently."
