I purchased a FIM 880 outlet based on a recommendation in my dealer's newsletter.
In that newsletter, he stated that FIM went to a major outlet manufacturer (presumably Woodhead) and asked what they could do to improve their outlet if cost was no object. Their response (copied directly from the newsletter) was:
- greater contact pressure
- increased contact surface area
- higher tolerances throughout
- less resonant housing
- higher copper-content mating surfaces
So, presumably the FIM 880 is a custom version of the previously mentioned Woodhead design manufactured to FIM's specs.
P. S.- has anyone had this outlet cryogenically treated? If so, can you elaborate on any audible changes that you noted? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
