Outlets

I know this is a cables forum but PC's are heavily discussed here and I think the outlet is also important so I felt this is the best place to ask.....

I am deciding between the Oyaide R1 and a PS audio Power port premier.

Does anyone have any experience comparing the two and what were your impressions?

I have read about those and the Furutech's, Wattgate's and Shunyata outlets and get a lot of different opinions, but can always use more to make an informed decision.

I am using a Shunyata Python CX to my Power Plant Premier and then feeding the system from the PPP.

If you feel one of the others is better than the two I have narrowed it down to please tell me why and I will consider trying one of them.

Thanks,
Lou

I have tried both and much prefer the Hubbell 8300H( Porter Port). The Hubbell is much less expensive as well. Albert sells them for $36.00/ea. IMHO, of course.

I second the Porter Port I had amazing results with it. On my system it was like I had a major component change.It was as if someone lifted a blanket off the entire system.

I also prefer the Porter Port to the R1 but the ultimate is the Synergistic Research TeslaPlex. See my review:

You can have a Porter Port ($36) AND a TeslaPlex ($95) for less than the price of a R1 ($145). Easy decision.

Dlcockrum, thank you for your response and the link to your evaluation of outlets. I wonder if there is a synergy thing involved do to using the Tesla power cords in combo with the Teslaplex. I tried a T3 in my system and found the highs and mids to be some of the best I have heard in my system.

I wonder if I should try the Power port premier to blend with the PPP or the SR-Z1 to go with the Python. Now I want to try a Teslaplex and hope to get those clean highs and smooth mids I was hearing with the T3.

Maybe I should just go with a porter port. It seems like it is the most basic and uncolored out of the bunch.

How well does the porter port grip the cords?
