The choice of wall receptacles

Albert: The Takefive outlet is EXACTLY the SAME as yours, the slimline 8300H with non-plated contacts, and anyone can special order it at any Hubbell distributor. I perhaps should have made it clear that it is not cryoed at NASA, which was why I pointed out in my post that (again, IMO) I could not hear differences in the cryo applied on the World Power receptacle (Cryogenics International which has a very good reputation) or the ACME treated Hubbell 5362 I own relative to the cryo done by Bayson Heat treating for the Takefive outlet.

There will be no taxes or duties on 2 receptacles shipped Expresspost from Canada to the U.S. Other countries I can't comment on. Two receptacles from Takefive shipped = $58.65 Cnd. At current exchange rates that's about $51 U.S. Two from you = $78.95. A $28 or 35% difference. That's a far cry from $6. At 3 receptacles, the price differential jumps to about $45.

I will enthusiastically endorse the Porter Ports. I ordered and installed them skeptically and heard an instant and dramatic improvement in an already excellent high-end system. Highly recommended and reasonably priced.

I recently added three dedicated circuits using 10/2 romex on 20 amp breakers and the Wattgate 381's. It seemed a bit expensive at the time However you can pick them up for around a $100.00 or less used. IMHO there was a immediate improvement in my ystem. It cleaned up the ground making the system quieter, darker and more detailed. I must admit that I no longer feel a need for power conditioning. My only mistake was pulling three (3) circuits instead of four (4). I followed the basic rule of one circuit for the amp, one for digital (CD) and one for analog (tube pre). My problem now I added a turntable and tuner so I am tapped out waiting to get another circuit puuled. Other than that life is great. I can't comment on the other devices as I have not used them, and Wattgate is probrably over priced but it is the only receptacle that is patented for audio that should be worth something. You definitlt don't want off the shelf home depot.
Happy listening.

Mapleleafs3 NO ONE said anything about $200 outlets. The gentleman was referring to buying a number of outlets the total of which is about $200!

Uppermidfi, that is correct. The Oyaide's price per receptacle I believe is not quite $100 per. I am also interested in learning more about the Porter Ports. If $200 is spent on receptacles, regardless which ones and the improvement is noteworthy then is it not worth the investment. We sometimes give more attention to true high end components and spend much more $$ for maybe a slight improvement. My goal is for a purer sound and I do not have any to A/B compare except fot the standard ones.
Answering to the response to the outside line feed I have chosen to draw the line at the wall receptacle fed with romex 10/2. Again your advise is much appreciated.
