DUPLEX RECEPTACLES YOUR EXPERIENCE

Jejaudio, why not also use the R-1 in your DIY power strip ? I'm sure the Porter Ports are fine sounding receptacles, but are they really "all copper" ? Pure copper is too soft to be used for recepetacle contacts. That is why the Oyaide R-1 uses beryllium copper. At the $36 price, the Porter Ports have to be unplated brass or phosphor bronze. Beryllium copper would be much more expensive.

Hi, Gbart. You are correct. I misspoke about the Porter Ports being all copper. There is Brass being used as well.

One of the big selling points of the Porter Ports is the lack of tin plating in the Hubble Receptacle. I had the 4 Porter Ports install for a year before I installed the Oyaide R 1.

I only purchased 2 Oyaide R 1's. I decided to remove the Porter Ports from the wall and use only R 1'S.

So I change out the two double gang Porter Port boxes to single gang boxes with the Oyaide R 1 outlets.

I wanted to keep the R 1's on my main dedicated lines.

I thought of buying 2 more Oyaide R 1's, but when I added the extra Porter Port Receptacle I had on hand, by way of a power strip. It added just what I needed. So left it alone.

You can read my review on ac outlets here. I have tried most of the outlets on the market over the years and the maestro outlets are the best I have ever tried out in my system...I even tried the new improved Teslaplex SE outlet and the Maestro outlets are a all around better outlet!

I installed a Furutech GTX-D rhodium. Honestly I just wanted a new outlet when I moved the gear to another room. The change was dramatic as audio-writers say. Couldn't believe it but there it is.

Only makes sense that receptacles will lose there grip over time and replacing them will make for better sound especially when new ones are installed. I wonder how long they will maintain that grip?
