All electrical Outlets are manufactured by Arrow Hart, Schurter, Hubbell, Leviton, Eagle, Pass and Seymour, or other large electrical manufacturers.
$200.00 for one of these ( regardless of what is done to it ) is absurd.
I saw an entire case of "Audiophile" AC outlets sitting in the floor of another manufacturers facility last year. When I ask if he had bought them to install in his system, he replied, "No, I' me just getting the plating and cryo treatment done for them so they can resell 'em."
We are talking about outlets purchased for $3.00 to 5.00. (Maximum). Add $2.50 for plating and $12.00 A POUND for cryo treatment. Do you think this makes it a good value?
The new 20 amp slim line Hubbell is the best I have tried. It has huge contact area with a strong grip, and features unplated copper in the contact areas, including the back strap. It is constructed about three times the mass and strength of a typical outlet.
Cost is $15.00 from your local Hubbell dealer, and available in gray, ivory, black or orange. All are marked with the identifying dot that means it passes "special ground" specifications.
No question that cryo treatment improves the Hubbell, AND every other brand of outlet. I personally started with the best and then got the cryo treatment done myself
As for the Arrow Hart 8200 Killerpiglet, there is nothing wrong with this outlet at all. In my opinion, better than the ones I saw in the floor at my friends. You are definitely in the best bang for the buck category right now. If you want to go crazy, cryo what you have or do a set of Hubbell and forget about the high price spread.
