PS audioPower Port Receptacle


id like to hear feedback from owners of this recepttacle (the grey 50 dollar one). Ive got 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits, and the receptacles i used are the commercial ones at an electrical store..12 buck each, vs .79c normal ones in homes. i will say they grip the plus Very well..i doint hear any noise, just wondering if its worth upgrading...ty

Unless you have 20 amp male plugs on your equipment (if you do, you can order a 20 amp receptacle) you will grossly exceed the performance of the PS Audio with a standard special order (there's an oxymoron for you) 8200H (and be sure to specify 8200H not just 8200 or 8300) Hubbell receptacle which has non-plated contacts from your local electric supply house, unlike the PS Audio which has heaps of layers of nickel on top of the brass contacts (not a good thing). The Porter Port is a cryoed Hubell 8300H, as is the 8300H that Takefive Audio sells for $21 Cnd. (about $19 U.S.). Takefive has higher shipping costs, but if you are buying more than one receptacle, it becomes much more cost effective and is a downright cheap upgrade.

Burn-in is particularly important with cryoed receptacles, but once fully burned in, you should definitely hear a difference with these or Albert's receptacles, and not for a huge outlay.
