Bob Bundus was wrong.

He said the Wattgate recepticle was like a "$10,000.00 upgrade. Its more like a $5,000.00 - $7,000.00 upgrade.

darrylhifi OP Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 498 posts 11-10-2002 at 04:55am Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Review DVD Audio , Wattgate digital connection , VD Nite front END, Wattgate Classe Connection Nite VD, Wattgate {2}, 3 VD Nite's for 3 discrete dedicated line playback. The Band was in my house. Richie Blackmore says hello. Have to give a serious thumbs up to the Wattgate's. Hi Mike !

t_bone Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 1,182 posts 11-11-2002 at 02:41am Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete Darrylhifi - I think the simple explanation is that Bob was referring to the full retail upgrade while you may be recommending the upgrade based on Audiogon pricing. Come to think of it, maybe Bob's 10k was official pricing of his Accuphase and yours is gray market... Or maybe...

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: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&977588296&openusid&zzDeano&4&5#Deano 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.

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 underpriced!

lak Details Discussions Posts This discussion Message User 4,627 posts 11-15-2002 at 01:58pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete 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).
