Porter Port WHAT DO U THINK?

I've had a Porter Port from Albert Porter for almost 3 to 4 years, But the catch is I only started using it again
after 3 years of NON-USE. I had the receptacle to close to the GFI circuits is what was told by my brother in law technician. Why I wasn't in a rush to try to move it and see if it would work elsewhere? Well on the system I was using as posted in the Audiogon the Porter Port id help a little, But no much. ALL That has changed with my new SET System . Once I put the outlet in the living room where it should have been and hooked up to the replaced gear the sound quality took a quantum leap in performance. Like someone took a blanket off the entire system . It was as if a major component change. Everything is so much cleaner and clearer with much much more transparency and a gain in midbass fullness as well. I can go on and on but I'm a bit ossed for words.
Thanks Albert Porter for the wonderful Porter Ports.

Hi, I have 4 porter ports. I'd say, better transparency...any way a clear step ahead however you phrase it.

I didn’t realize that our esteemed community member Albert Porter had such a product available. Where would one go to find the Porter Ports – website, email, other information, etc.?

Contact Mr. Porter directly. You can reach him via the AudiogoN emailer system. I have Porter Ports on all the lines going into my listening room. They are indeed very good. They hold onto heavy power cables like a pit bull on a pant leg.
I have found another improvement to add to them is replacing the cheap outlet covers with heavy brass. I have tried both polished brass and brushed nickel finish brass and find that brushed nickel sounds best with Mr. Porter's Pit Bull on a Pant Leg Power Ports

I too use the Porter Ports, and find them to be very effective. (To be honest, I had them installed when I had my dedicated lines put in, so I don't know whether it is the ports, the dedicated lines or the combination of the two that caused my sound to improve (significantly)! I assume it was the combination of the two, and I am very happy with the results, particularly in the bass response, which is deeper and tighter.

From a value standpoint, they seem to be a pretty good value, less expensive than the PS Audio ports, but more expensive than standard non-cyroed hubble port.

As far as where to buy them: Merely type in "porter" in the search menu here on Audiogon, and they'll pop up!!!

PS Albert is a really nice guy to deal with, (and to talk to about all things audio). I hear he likes to take pictures with his old Kodak Brownie camera too! :-)
