PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton


Has anyone compared the PS Audio Power Port outlet to the upgraded outlets available at Home Depot from Leviton, etc.? I looked yesterday, and the Depot had commercial and industrial (although not hospital grade) outlets, and although the outlets looked a little more durable, the electrical contacts didn't appear much different than standard. Obviously, the Power Port is a lot more $$$, but I'm wondering if it isn't understandable for nickel plating on the contacts.

Also I've seen some references on these threads to cryo treatment...could someone elaborate?

I have the Synergistic, the Power Port and the plain Hospital grade Hubbell and I would describe them as follows;
Synergistic; Magical sound spatial 3D I use these with a Marantz top of the line receiver and Definitive tech speakers and made a huge difference in sound BEST $99spent.
The PP is also fantastic and made a big difference for $40 but not magical like the Synergistic,
The regular HG Hubbell I am not sure if it really made a difference I know nothing like the PP and absolutely nothing as compared the Synergistic.
The Synergistic is phenomenal. You will be amazed by it. If you compare a regular Leviton and the Synergistic Leviton. The proof is in the pudding. Meaning you will a see am immense difference in sound. AMAZIIIIINNNNNNGGGG what the Synergistic. Synergistic seems to give the best result on my home theatre as compared to my two channel audiophile system. I guess it might have to do with the spatial multichannel effects! It just create amazing up in the air magical sounds. I do not work for Synergistic or any other.
Besides changing your receptacle to the Synergistic receptacle, Change your AC power cord to Neotech power cord. you will be amazed at the difference in sound. I made my own power cord using Neotech NEP-3003 power cable and Oyaide plugs and there is a huge difference in just changing one power cord!!! Make the power cable as short as posssible. Neotech cables are Fantstic.
