Albertporter only needs 50

Max,
Leave it alone and listen to music. You're driving yourself crazy!

I am a few days away from introducing my Porter Ports. Would have interest in the experince of others with these, in addition to Maxgain (whose comments I have appreciated). Seems were quite a number of buyers but very much fewer reporting.

I just installed my outlet Thursday after having it for a month and reading Maxgains reporting. After all the trouble he had I was expecting my ears to bleed when I turned my stereo back on. It was terrific right from the start none of the PROBLEMS that Maxgain has reported, nothing but beautiful ,clear, correct,and enjoyable sound. The sound has NOT changed much in the last 5 days and might have even gotten better. Do not be afraid to install these outlets ,you will have a ear opening experience and one of the BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS you can make for the money. Maxgain read Khaki8 12-22-02 post I could not have said it better myself good advice. Thank you Albert you made my future music listening more enjoyable it was a great hassle on your part , but you made allot of people happy.

Tweety, I am happy that you are having good luck and not hearing anything unpleasant. I, in no way, was trying to discourage people from installing and listening to the outlets, or scare them in any way! I don't feel that what I was reporting were PROBLEMS, only observations. I only reported what I heard. I HAVE enjoyed the experience. I have no way of knowing what you are using as you don't list your system. It may be helpful to others reading to know what your reference is. That way members with similar systems and tastes might be able to gather more from your experience. I hope that by listing my system it helps other readers to see if they are at all on the same page I am and not for any other pourpose.

I only hope that more of you didn't misinterpret my findings as some sort of negative thing. Just as anyone who tries to review a product or describe sound quality, I felt that I was making careful, and yes,a critical evaluation of the outlets and the break in process. This means reporting the good and the bad. The "PROBLEMS" that were very aparent with my gear may not be with other systems. I did say that no serious listener should be without them. I am not in a rush here, why should I be? If it only means letting the system rest for a few days that is no real hardship. When I turn it back on today I am confident that things will be back to sounding very good again. I just call it as I see it.

I am glad to hear others reporting in about their findings even if they don't feel they hear the same thing I do. I hope we hear from more of you.

Maxgain,
It just surprised me that I was not hearing the same things you were after installing the outlet. My system is as follows:
One Porter outlet
Shunyata Hydra with Mojave power cord plugged into Porter outlet
jp maximum gold power cords
Empirical audio Holophonic interconnects and Clairity 7 speaker cables by Empirical
Electrocompaniet Emc-1 c.d. player

Many compact discs
Thats it folks!
