Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp


Trying to decide between these two 20 amp outlets.

Shunyata SR-Z1 is cryogenically treated and built well, cost $100.

Hubble makes a hospital grade outlet HBL 8300 for about $30-$40.

Should I stick with Shunyata since I use their Power cords and cables? Anybody know anything about these outlets?

I read the shunyata company description and they do not say what metals are being used in their outlets. They say solid brass. That’s it

Is this copper is this beryllium is the silver why don’t they say??

I think they use straight stock outlets from Hubble. Very very misleading

So because of the nickel plating which causes graininess, The shunyata outlet made by Hubble it’s not very good. Heavy duty Hubble version it's only $30!!!

Very disappointing Shunyata would do this.

Hubbel is same as shunyata, so I'm not sure why it's different.

 

Where is the maestro outlet from, this sounds like it's better.

Is the outlet from shunyata nickel plated?

They don’t say on their website, it’s very limited they only say brass.

Seems like the same product as Hubble, except they stick it in the freezer for a few days.

dekay,

The hubbel outlets are plated in nickel.  Isn't this a really really bad thing?

It's all about the metal bridging the wire to the Metal touching the plug.  It's not rocket science people.

The alloy should probably be beryllium copper, and the coating is left to the imagination who's selling it. And then they stretch it by saying Its dipped in liquid nitrogen and they call it Cryo.

So that's it, and leave extra space around the metal so it stays cool.

It's not rocket science people.

Maestro only being sold by one place in the US. This does not paint a favorable picture of this outlet.

This thread is getting really confusing and the hospital grade Hubbel outlets contain nickel plating. Nickel plating it’s not used by audio grade outlets.

higher end outlet sellers don’t use nickel and say negative things about it. So anything to do with Hubble it’s not a good idea unless you like to look at stars and galaxies and things really really far away.
