DUPLEX RECEPTACLES YOUR EXPERIENCE


Greetings ! I just ran a couple of dedicated lines for the audio gear , I am going to use two receptacles per double gang box . I was thinking 0f using some higher end receptacles, Synergystic , Porter . furetech or ? perhaps mixing up two different ones in the same box, I can hook these up daisy chain fashion so it will be a unbroken line from breaker to duplex. I would appreciate any imput regarding your experience and of course some reccomendations

Hi, Lezdam. I use Oyaide R 1 Receptacles for my 10 awg dedicated lines.

The sound was good, but always seemed a little thin. It was more opened, with better dynamics and a wider sound stage.

It was not until I made a DIY power strip along the line of a VH Audio Hot-Box, using the Porter Port Receptacle that I achieved the fullness that was missing.

The good thing is the strengths of the Oyaide R 1 remained with the wider sound stage and dynamics. But the all copper Porter Port is great at bring out low level details and fullness.

So these two Receptacles complement each other greatly in my system.
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.
