Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?


OK, now that we've gotten our cryo'd outlets at a great price via Albertporter's industriousness and goodwill (all hail!!!), has anyone thought of using them to replace the outlets in their Chang Lightspeed/PS Audio/Vans Evers, what have you? Is this even a good idea?

Have replaced the receptacles in my Inouye Line Conditioner with cryoed units. Absolutely the way to go. If you haven't, you're not hearing what your system can really do. The improvement I got from replacing the line conditioner receptacles was equal to the one I got from replacing the one at the wall, which was definitely more than I was expecting.
Zaikesman: I have done some pretty heavy experimentation with a number of stock receptacles. I have a couple of Arrow Hart 8200's here (which have been hacked up a bit to fit properly in my line conditioner but are mechanically fine) and would be happy to send you one to experiment with. E-mail me your address if you're interested. I am no longer using these obviously, but feel that they are a pretty decent receptacle, but not as good as the Hubbell 52-53 series or 82-83 models. I am currently using the cryoed World Power 5362's, both at the wall and in my line conditioner and would not be without them. For $55, they are, in my opinion, an absolute bargain. FWIW, I was as skeptical as you and now have numerous receptacles about the house: my washer and gas dryer are running off an Arrow Hart 8200, and my refigerator, as well as downstairs freezer are running off Pass and Seymour 5262's and 5242's. In any event, I'm happy to send you the AH as I am confident that it will be better than what you have (if not, send it back to me!) and may lead you on to better things.

Hey Drubin: My clothes are now so clean that acquaintances are constantly asking me questions like they do to that guy on the Viagra commercial and sometimes when I open the fridge there is stuff in there that just magically has appeared; it's wonderful! To be serious, I can't really say whether they've done anything in that application. Perhaps I'll just pull up a "listening chair" in front of the freezer some day for some "critical listening". In any event, I'm in a 35 year old house and the receptacles (particularly the freezer and washer/dryer units) that I replaced were pretty grim in the "grip department". I can recall reading somewhere (think it was UHF magazine) that they actually recorded the time it took for a kettle to boil with a standard cheapie receptacle as compared to a spec. grade or hospital grade model they sold and the kettle boiled significantly faster with the better receptacle, but I've never done any experimentation in that area!
Man, I almost forgot the best part: my freezer is now working so well that I can do my own CRYO! Heheheheh!
