Sonic Genius: I mean no disrespect, but properly treated cryoed Hubbell 8300's or 5362's, are, as I stated above, considerably better than their non-cryoed stock counterparts. I would agree with you that for $20 or so the stock Hubbell 8300 is a very good receptacle (possibly the best along with the 5362), and I in fact ran stock Hubbell 8300/8200's in my system for a considerable length of time before switching to the cryoed versions. That being said, an outlay of $110 to $180 for two or 3 of these (if your system can run on that many receptacles) cryoed units will give you a major performance boost in your system equivalent to a much higher outlay in equipment. It is a serious bang for the buck. The cryoed units are in another league altogether. Anyone buying them will not be disappointed.
