FYI all, I just received three new Porter Ports and these are Hubbell HBL5362W receptacles that are unplated and cryo treated (no green dots as shown on their website), so these should be virtually identical to the Cabledyne receptacles unless there are differences between the cryo treatments used. I did see that Cabledyne conditions their outlets on a Cable Cooker so I will do that myself with the Porter Ports. I am running some new circuits to make things easier to hook up. I currently have ACME outlets for my gear so will be interesting to compare.
Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362
Just as I was about to purchase 3 Porter Ports yesterday, a friend of mine drew my attention to a new offering on the market, cryoed HBL 5362 by Cabledyne (www.cabledyne.com). Price wise there is considerable difference (as it appears to me): Porter Ports sell of $36 ea. + $12 shipping (for up to 3 units) against $25 each with free US shipping currently being offered by Cabledyne. My heart says Porter Port, but my mind -possibly biased by my friend - says Cabledyne.
Would greatly appreciate the advice from and personal experience/comparison from fellow audiogoners.
thank you in advance.
