Albertporter only needs 50


Hey Audiogoners,

Albertporter has made a great offer to coordinate the bulk purchase of cryoed Hubbel outlets. My feeling if it's good enough for Albert's system, it's good enough for mine. But we need more people to participate to make it worth while. Check this post out: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?hbest&1021587031&read&keyw&zzoutlet

If you don't have time to check out the entire post here is Albert's offer:

"If a group of you want to go together, buy a box or case of outlets, I can get a quantity discount for us for the full cryo treatment. There will be no special packaging or wrappers, but you will have ultimate performance for a fraction of the cost.(This is exactly what I did)."

I spoke with Albert earlier today and he is willing to arrange for the purchase of the outlets in Dallas, have them treated and then probably ship them out Fedex ground. Albert would be doing us all a favor and his only interest is in helping the audio community. Let him know how many you are interested in. I'm in for six (6).

Thanks Albert for taking the time to coordinate this purchase! I'm in for 6 cryo-treated Hubbells.
Albert,

If you're willing to take on such an endeavor, I could use 4 duplex (2 plugs per) receptacles (and a bigger feed from the road - 60 amps... oh, the humanity!)

Just a reality check for all of us dreaming cryo'ed AC dreams - this will take time, and will be a humongous effort. I remember organizing a group gift of a DVD player for a friend as a wedding gift. That was difficult enough. With all of the shipping addresses etc, this will be an involved effot, to say the least.

Thanks - if this comes to fruition, you've done a great service to all. If not, your thoughts and intentions are heroic.

It may be a LOT easier to squeeze some crushed dry ice into the contact areas of a P&S or Hubbell to get the same results efficiently. Or liquid nytrogen if you've a friend shoo's a dermotologist and owes you a favor!
Any of you that have a preference for other brands can forward your outlets to me and have them included in the group. I offered the Hubbells because they are in my system with this same treatment and I love the sound.

As often stated here at Audiogon, your mileage may vary or your opinion may be different.

If so, pack up your Arrow, Leviton or whatever your favorite is and send it along to be included.
I can get the treatment for the low $20.00 range, depending on how many of you participate.

The Hubbell I bought last time were hospital grade in Ivory color, green dot face (indicating special ground) in all copper construction with (Nylon?) face.

I paid $15.98 for mine, and unless quantity lowers price, or there has been an increase, the total for outlet and treatment should be about $36.00 including shipping for treatment and back.

Shipping expense to each member depends on weight, method of shipment and insurance. As a reference, my postal scale read four ounces for a single outlet.

As to treatment, this is deep immersion cryo at NASA, not a gas treatment. This is the same treatment applied to several products you guys are already impressed with.
Count me in for six (6) as well. Thanks and where to send the payment ? How much ?
How many hours and at what temperature will they be treated for? This is very important to know!
Sign me up for a couple -- pending the price. I look forward to comparing them to the Purist Audio Designs with cryo treatment I bought for about $32. Thanks.
Count me in for 2 as well. All we need is to know how much to send to Albert, or is someone else collecting?
First--I'm interested. But there's no mention of actual price. I know that Albert will get the best deal possible, and it's great that he is doing this. I'm sure there's no final price, because he doesn't have one yet, but before some of us commit it would be good to know an approximate price, or at least a ceiling price that we know it won't go over.
