Hubbel v Virtual Dynamics v FIM v Purist v Jena

Czbbcl: My system is budget solid-state (no tubes) and I listen in a fairly small room in the near field. According to Alan at World Power, the cryoed 8300 is a little bit more "immediate" sounding and moves you a bit closer to the performance than the 5362. The differences are supposed to be subtle. It's really a matter of preference, but I prefer a more "mid hall" kind of presentation, something a bit more laid back, and felt that the 5362 would be the better choice for me and my system.

Czbbcl, Nice looking system you have there! There is no doubt in my mind that if you tried any of the cryogenically treated outlets you would hear an improvement in your current system along the line as when you installed to the two dedicated power lines. If you have not done so yet read:

The Fim are the worst ever...Jena is without exception the best. I have tried all the ones you have mentioned.

Ttathompaolcom is probably making things up a bit. Even without doing an a/b comparison, the PS Audio PP is likely to be inferior to the FIM if for no other reason than the 15 coats of nickel PS audio pours on.

Nickel is a very poor conductor.

Isn't the nickle plating supposed to avoid oxidation or corrosion, which is why the hospital grade Hubbell (8300) has it while the non-hospital grade Hubbell (5362) does not? I understand that the Audio Excellence/Worldpower 8300 is nickle plated.

Does anyone have experience with Acme Audio Labs. I believe their outlets are silver plated over brass and cryo treated. Does the silver plating add favorable sonic characteristics?
