I bought this to replace a PS Audio Powerbase pedestal and what a sonic difference. Not only is the grip firmer, but the soundstage is wider and much more detailed. I am very happy with this outlet and worth replacing my PS AUDIO Premier and PowerPort. So much so that I bought a few more to replace the outputs on my PS Audio Dectet which had already been replaced with Maestro. Like all audio and video changes, ymmv.
