PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton

Has anyone compared the PS Audio Power Port outlet to the upgraded outlets available at Home Depot from Leviton, etc.? I looked yesterday, and the Depot had commercial and industrial (although not hospital grade) outlets, and although the outlets looked a little more durable, the electrical contacts didn't appear much different than standard. Obviously, the Power Port is a lot more $$$, but I'm wondering if it isn't understandable for nickel plating on the contacts.

Also I've seen some references on these threads to cryo treatment...could someone elaborate?

Besides changing your receptacle to the Synergistic receptacle, Change your AC power cord to Neotech power cord. you will be amazed at the difference in sound. I made my own power cord using Neotech NEP-3003 power cable and Oyaide plugs and there is a huge difference in just changing one power cord!!! Make the power cable as short as posssible. Neotech cables are Fantstic.

Hi all, is anyone even aware of the Ps Audio Power Port Premier? No its not the Power Port, its construction is on par with the well regaurded R1 if not better in some respects. I had the Leviton and when I switched to PPP the sound was outstanding not thin or overly eteched, deep bass, crystal clear highs, beautiful tonality in the mids and black slience. Well worth the $99.00 I spent.

How about the PS Audio Power Port Decora style receptacles? Are they as good as the conventional PS Audio Power Ports? I'm seeing the Decora styled PS Audio Power Ports on sale on various sites on the net now but I never really see forum posts about them. I don't know if that is something telling about them. I have lots of Decora style outlets in my audio systems so I was thinking about changing them out for the Decora Style Power Ports. Thanks

Maestro outlets are the best that I have tried. Read my review on them.

Lol Hifisoundguy....Your reviews are plastered all over the internet. One cannot escape from them or you on the Maestro. It is as though you're trying to shove what you preach down people's throats.
