    Budget Tweak of the Week

    I must be reading too much...I have heard many swear by the changing out of the wall plug. Changing out of the $2 duplex to a higher contractor or hospital grade socket.
    Better contacts, isolated, and grounded, I couldn't hear anything...but I sure felt better 8)
    any one done this tweak???

    A while back bought a Blue Circle Noise Hound to lower my noise floor. What a waste, cause it introduced more noise than it took out. The place I bought it offered me store credit, so I picked up 2 FIM 880 receptacles. Contact between socket and powercords is very snug, unlike with the $2 ones from the hardware store. Didn't notice any difference in sound but the contacts are atleast more secure.

      Yep, any good commercial grade 20 amp receptacle is fine. The worst thing about most "builder specials" is that the electricians have them back wired, instead of crimped and screwed.

        I bought a PS Audio receptacle and noticed no difference in sound. Does feel better, though.
