Bob Bundus was wrong.

Is Deano wrong? I mean, he's got a very expensive rig w/ Lamm preamp, 20K Monoblocks, plus good hearing. I presume that little near field system of his has indeed some resolution..

This is what he wrote about the Wattgates:

I have just purchased three PS Audio Power Ports. They were on sale @ $30 each, so I took advantage of that. Also got a "B" stock PS Audio Juice Bar for $125. I don't think I can go wrong.

Is Wattgate really worth it?

Who's got it right, then?

For the record, I have not heard the P&S nor the Wattgate.

Hi Darryl I'm a little late here, stumbling onto this thread with *my name* on it no less...
But hey - now you know I wasn't kidding one bit; these outlets are definitely Major League & there's nothing out there that can beat them at any price. You get what you pay for - only in this case you pay about $150 & get a return on investment of approx. 50 to 66 times over your actual cash outlay! Anyone thinking that the Wattgate 381 is outrageously priced is correct - they are --- outrageously *under*priced!

Maybe 666 times over...

Remember the note Deano wrote was posted in 2000. I think the Wattgate 381 has been improved since then. I have done some extensive testing with outlets (not all but many) and the two at the top of my list are the Hubbell 8300 cryogenically treated ($60) and the Wattgate 381 ($130 if you shop for it).
