What is best as wall plug : HMS Furutech Oyaide please

Hi All,

hope you are well. So my HMS copper model wall plug had been broken down because 10 years (plastic...). I wonder why not to change !
i read a lot of posts on brand and truly metal copper gold and rhodium.
i am listening vinyl with a Lenco JTN 75.
afa I learnt gold is neutral and smooth. Rhodium is mode détails and bass control.
Many thanks for your advices.
enjoy your week end

I use these and I am very leased with them.

You could also go with Porter Ports sold on this site. They are a cryo treated Hospital Grade Hubble if I am not mistaken. 

I have used Pass & Seymour in the past and they work well.

I beg to differ (as many other) that plugs/outlets cannot be used for tone controls.

As far as plating, gold is not really neutral.  It's more warm sounding with rolled off highs.  Rhodium is definitely more revealing, but probably more neutral.  Silver plating is bright/fast and will push upper mids/highs.  If you want true neutral, probably the best is nickel plating, but that is also lower quality and typically uses brass conductors (which in my opinion push the voltage too hard and sound becomes shouty).

Like other said, if budget is concern, the Porter Ports are cryo-treated hubbels.

Or get a PS Audio Power Port.  They are nickel plated over copper.  Probably the most neutral outlet, and only $49.

I use the Shunyata wall outlets.  It is cryo-ed, the same outlets on their conditioners and cost less than 100 bucks.
