Hubbell 5362. Anyone try this outlet?

"Voodoo" indeed. Voodoo Cable states that most audio grade receptacles do not have an isolated ground as the Voodoo Hubbell does, which is correct. What they fail to mention is, an IG receptacle in only of benefit when installed in a true isolated ground circuit (in metal conduit, with separate insulated ground conductor between the panelboard and receptacle ground pin). The receptacle box, mounting strap and conduit are insulated from the ground conductor. A receptacle with isolated ground installed in a circuit with non-metallic cable (12/2 Romex with ground) provides no benefit over a standard receptacle.

The Hubbel web-site goes into explaining the workings of an Isolated Ground Circuit. Voodoo uses a Hubbel IG 8300 which is a standard outlet available from Hubbel just that Voodoo cryogenically treats it. And IG stands for, you guessed it, Isolated Ground.

I have not heard the one the OP makes reference to.

Yes Jea, the one on page 6.
I will check wit A Porter to see why he chose his unit.

Ptss, as a suggestion ask Albert next time he has a listing for his ports.I remember the original listing for the change over from 8300 to 5362,but can't remember the exact reason.Hope this helps.

Ptss,

You might want to contact Albert Porter about the Porter Ports he now sells. Just guessing the sound of the receptacle will be more neutral sounding than that of the old style Hubbell HBL5362 duplex receptacle.

From my limited experience with the non cryo treated Hubbell HBL5262 and the HBL5362 the sound is slightly warm of neutral.

Quote from Albert's ad.

Hubbell now manufactures the Hospital grade 8300 with magnetic steel back strap and galvanized plating. I've arranged delivery of Hospital grade interior parts, unplated in the 5362 body with non magnetic, brass back strap.

Sound in my system is identical and available in original Ivory and white with Dark brown and gray frequently in stock and always available special order.

These are Hubbell rated for 20 amp and a perfect replacement for both 15 amp and 20 amp outlets. These upgrade both the quality and connection of your electrical. They are Hospital grade and deep immersion cryo treated.

It appears Albert's new Porter Ports are a special run/construction receptacle manufactured specifically for Albert Porter.. Guts are the non plated hospital grade contacts of the old style HBL8300H installed in a 5362 body with the 5362 non plated brass supporting back strap.
