| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Yes, I will pack it in Labtec, but, with all due respect, I have never in 2-3 years of posting about outlets said that I hear dramatic changes in an outlet every few hours, or every 2-3 months, so please don't put words in my mouth that have never... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Stehno: I'm going to repeat this again just because I think many people do not really understand it. To get an absolute read on what any receptacle (cryoed or uncryoed) is all about, it is imperative, in my opinion that you run the whole system of... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Zaikesman: It should be noted that there are some people (Bob Crump among them) who have reported that they do not like the results of cryo. We also have Stehno's observation, positive on the iec inlet but actually negative on the outlet (sorry St... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Zaikesman: I am quite confident of my hearing (and unlike you, I have actually heard the differences under what I consider to be pretty controlled, long term conditions) so I'm sorry to say that there is nothing, read nothing, than can "shake my f... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Zaikesman: There's a cheap cure for your skepticism after you've installed and run your Porter Port for 3 or 4 months. And that is to simply buy a stock, non-cryoed "Porter Port" (a slim line non-plated 8300 I believe-model # should be on your box... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Stehno: Glad you had fun. I originally wrote my review here of the World Power in July/02. Prior to that I experimented with different receptacles for about 12 months. In a "mix and match" (different receptacles running at the same time in the sam... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Well, at least everyone has been honest!As Zaikesman has pointed out, there are lots of variables here and both "tests" (as well as everything I have done) may not be particularly scientific.So do the results so far invalidate my (or other peoples... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test No set-up! I just e-mailed Stehno. Maybe someone else will have to have a shot at these! | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Actually, after a bit of thought, it might be an idea just to present your findings comparing the receptacles before opening Eldartfords envelope, and then do that, as well as get the info from me on the markings? I'm open to other suggestions as ... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Stehno: I'm not sure many others will be able to take advantage of using those receptacles now that the tabs have been broken, but perhaps someone else wants to try them out. Perhaps the best way is to check your results against Eldartfords A-B id... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Zaikesman: Just a couple of points:1) with respect to power cords, your position on shielding would almost lead one to believe that the benefits derived from aftermarket cords are predominantly or entirely due to shielding. This flies in the face ... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Glad you're having fun Stehno. Obviously, even though you have a 20 amp line for the amp, the power cord on it has a 15 amp male plug. As you are probably aware, the abilities and ratings on 15 amp and 20 amp receptacles (at least from all manufac... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Hi Stehno: I have no idea which one you're using, as I never labelled them A or B; it was Eldartford that did that. When you're done, though, I can tell you which is which based on a couple of distinguishing marks I placed on the cryoed outlet bef... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Thanks Ed. You are correct on all counts! As it turns out, when I sent the 2nd receptacle to Ed, it only had one set of screws (just because I had previously been using it that way, not to differentiate between the receptacles-I made other marking... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Stehno: Great-it's hard to get that tongue-in-cheek cheek stuff sometimes when it's in writing. Thought some of those ungrounded circuits of yours might of fried your air conditioning or something! |
