Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp

dekay,

The hubbel outlets are plated in nickel.  Isn't this a really really bad thing?

It's all about the metal bridging the wire to the Metal touching the plug.  It's not rocket science people.

The alloy should probably be beryllium copper, and the coating is left to the imagination who's selling it. And then they stretch it by saying Its dipped in liquid nitrogen and they call it Cryo.

So that's it, and leave extra space around the metal so it stays cool.

It's not rocket science people.

Most of my 8300's are not plated (there were different versions).

Pretty certain the 5362's are not plated, but not 100% sure.

Also, as mentioned, mine were purchased 20 years ago.

The plain 8300's may have a letter following the #, but I can't locate the box of extra's to check.

If it’s brass, it’s ass.  +1 Maestro, Furutech, Porter Ports.  Enjoy the Music did a shootout of several outlets years ago and Maestro did very well if I recall and was less expensive than other top outlets (Oyaide, etc.) so might be worth searching that review out.  Best of luck. 

I read the shunyata company description and they do not say what metals are being used in their outlets. They say solid brass. That’s it

Is this copper is this beryllium is the silver why don’t they say??

I think they use straight stock outlets from Hubble. Very very misleading

Maestro only being sold by one place in the US. This does not paint a favorable picture of this outlet.
