wELL BOY DID i HAVE A SURPRISE LAST NIGHT . i FINALLY DECIDED TO HOOK UP THESE TWO PIECES OF EQUIPMENT STRAIGHT INTO MY WALL OUTLET WHICH i HAD A NEW CRYO PORTER PORT INSTALLED HUBBEL DESIGN.I AM NOT SURE WHY I TOOK SO LONG TO DO THIS. I ORIGINALLY HAD THEM INTO MY MONSTER POWER STRIP WITH POWER FILTERS BUILT INTO THE STRIP AND THOUGHT IT SOUNDED REALLY NICE WHEN PLUGGED INTO MY SPECIAL OUTLET,BUT THEN I THOUGHT LETS JUST REMOVE THE POWER STRIP ALL TOGETHER SINCE I ONLY HAVE THE TWO COMPONENTS,
AND WHEN I DID HOLY COW BATMAN AND ROBIN.WOWOWOW THE HIGH FREQUENCY EXTENSION GREATLY IMPROVED AND THE DYNAMIC RANGE SEEMED TO IMPROVE ALMOST 2 DB. I WAS REALLY NOT PREPARED FOR THIS. THE MIDBASS BECAME FULLER AND THE DEEP BASS BECAME MORE [POWERFUL AS WELL. THE POWER STRIP WAS SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF MY SYSTEM,BUT NO MORE.
I AM REDISCOVERING MY CD COLLECTION ALL OVER AGAIN.
I DID NOTICE A HIGH QUALITY POER CORD CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE ZCD AS WELL.
TAKE CARE.

I'm happy I was able to give u that wonderful idea.I think many audiophile are definately short changing themselves if they don't treat the power receptacle in the wall THATS FOR SURE.
Have fun listening
