DUPLEX RECEPTACLES YOUR EXPERIENCE

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.

You can read my review on ac outlets here. I have tried most of the outlets on the market over the years and the maestro outlets are the best I have ever tried out in my system...I even tried the new improved Teslaplex SE outlet and the Maestro outlets are a all around better outlet!

I installed a Furutech GTX-D rhodium. Honestly I just wanted a new outlet when I moved the gear to another room. The change was dramatic as audio-writers say. Couldn't believe it but there it is.

Only makes sense that receptacles will lose there grip over time and replacing them will make for better sound especially when new ones are installed. I wonder how long they will maintain that grip?

Hospital grade, most audio grade, and commercial/industrial grade outlets should maintain a good grip indefinitely. That is one of the reasons for certain receptacles being designated "hospital grade". They offer a certain level of reliability when it comes to grip. You don't want medical life-support equipment to shut down because a plug slipped out of a receptacle. Many manufacturers' commercial grade receptacles are just as good as their HG offerings, just without latter's spark suppressing contacts.
