Albertporter only needs 50

Hey Audiogoners,

Albertporter has made a great offer to coordinate the bulk purchase of cryoed Hubbel outlets. My feeling if it's good enough for Albert's system, it's good enough for mine. But we need more people to participate to make it worth while. Check this post out: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?hbest&1021587031&read&keyw&zzoutlet

If you don't have time to check out the entire post here is Albert's offer:

"If a group of you want to go together, buy a box or case of outlets, I can get a quantity discount for us for the full cryo treatment. There will be no special packaging or wrappers, but you will have ultimate performance for a fraction of the cost.(This is exactly what I did)."

I spoke with Albert earlier today and he is willing to arrange for the purchase of the outlets in Dallas, have them treated and then probably ship them out Fedex ground. Albert would be doing us all a favor and his only interest is in helping the audio community. Let him know how many you are interested in. I'm in for six (6).

Mine apparently arrived today in the office (I'm out of the country till Sunday); can hardly wait to get them installed. Thanks Albert!

Mine got here in great shape yesterday. They have been in for an hour or so. I wanted to get the full experience by hearing them right out of the box. I was going to hook them up in the basement and cook them for a few weeks. I am getting a glimpse of what is to come.
Thanks Albert, I will keep you posted on the burn in.

With respect to burn in, my experience is that it will happen and be complete somewhere around day 25-35 running your gear on it. No real experience with running vacuum cleaners, high power generators, etc! If you are replacing standard/stock receptacles, they should sound very good right out of the box, but they will really shine after burn in. But for those of you with multiple receptacles, you might want to plug your TV into one and use it there. For those skeptical of burn-in, you should actually see your TV picture sharpen up and become much clearer as the burn-in completes. Seeing is believing! Have fun!

Lak is right about harsh so far. Anyone that says there is no difference in the sound of outlets needs a hearing ear dog! So far it sounds like old an old Crown DC300 hoked up to ESS AMT 1's. This is only to let the rest of the group know what to expect for the first few hours anyway! Like I said there is a glimpse of something in there that has a real ease about it if you can find it through the nasty, thin, dry, part. I will keep updating this as it goes. They may come out and go into the basement for a while to "cook". I am still confident that things will get much better!
