| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 If you like the cryoed HBL 5362 (and there is a lot to like about it), I'd recommend that you leap from the mid tier Furutech and Oyaide receptacles and move right up to the Oyaide R1 or R0 or the Furutech GTX (and their respective wall plates). I... | |
| Anyone try Mogami Neglex for balanced interconnect I use the 2534 in a balanced tonearm cable (Jelco 506). It's an outstanding cable and bettered another balanced tonearm lead made with 24 gauge shielded Cardas wire. I also use the Mogami 3103 speaker cable, another very high value cable. Under $3... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Very interesting! Thanks for answering my questions Lall and glad (but not surprised!) you ended up with a nice performance boost!Receptacles really can make a huge difference. | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Hi Lall:Thanks for that. A lot of work, as I well know. Not a lot of surprises there for me but perhaps one. I can see the P&S Legrand and the FIM finishing where they did as they are such very different receptacles, almost polar opposites I t... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Oops, Oyaide WPC is here:http://www.vhaudio.com/oyaide-wpc-z.html | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Thanks very much for the compliment Lall! One of those makes up for all of the sarcastic comments from those who feel that receptacles in audio are all about snakeoil.I have experience with a number of receptacles (most of the experimentation I di... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 HBL 8200H (I have 3 of them here) and HBL 8300H have always been compact hospital grades with unplated Olin 688 brass contacts. HBL 8200/8300 (have at least 3 of those here as well) is an entirely different receptacle, a typical full sized hospita... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Lall: The one thing that disturbs me a bit about the e-bay link is that there is no HBL designation on the box. I have a couple of Hubbell boxes here, one from 2004 and another one from a few years ago (which was probably old stock), one for an 82... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 No problem. Good luck with that-you'll be busy! No experience with the FIM here, but I am still using cryoed versions of the HBL 5362 and 8300H in my line conditioner. I think you'll find pretty big differences between the non-cryoed 8300H (check ... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 My mistake. Albert did stop using the 8300H a few years ago and switched to the 5362 as Hubbell changed the materials in the 8300H and started manufacturing it with a ferrous backstrap.

| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 You guys do realize that the Porter Port is a cryoed HBL 5362?Or do you? | |
| What's my next evolution in the analog venture? "Along with increased resolution, a new TT will also make you more aware of things like surface noise. It won't be as forgiving as your current setup."A "better" turntable (or analog front end which includes, table, arm, cartridge and phono preamp... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables "Based on the $25 per foot calculation, I saved $340 (68%) on my used type 8 pair. Not too shabby."Always good to buy used-makes sense. However, even at $8 foot for used 8TC it's almost 3X the price of the 3103. And the Kimber Postmaster spades ar... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables Mogami 3103 terminated with Vampire high copper content spades. Cryo it and burn it in post cryo and it gets even better. I preferred it to my Kimber 8TC (also cryoed and burned in on the Nordost cooker) and ended up selling the Kimber. The 8TC re... | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge Compatability Personally, I do not think the Ortofon TA-110 would be an ideal match with the 2M Black; with that cartridge I would be looking for an arm with a slightly lower effective mass, something in the 12-15 gram effective mass range. I also don't see muc... |
