Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362
I am now curious to compare the HBL5362 with some of the high end outlets. The Furutech FPX Gold is copper instead of brass. I ordered it from Cabledyne. I also ordered a Oyaide Power Receptacle SWO-GX+ ULTIMO Gold from Revolution Audio. Long Labo... 
Stereo or monaural for solo instruments
Years ago while building speakers, I used to listen the left channel only for voicing purposes. Used many solo instrumental recordings. Once I got the tonality right I added the right channel speaker to evaluate the stereo image. 
Locus Design Axis USB or ???
I traded my Starlight platinum for the Cabledyne Reference Silver USB. The Cabledyne USB has discrete power and signal leads and is pure silver wire. Price was around $140. I could clearly hear the sonic benefit.http://http://www.cabledyne.com/usb...

I Have not heard from Lall yet but a friend and I just completed some outlet testing. The comparison was done between the Hubbell HBL5362 cryo industrial grade and a Hubbell 8300 cryo hospital grade outlets. The 5362 is all brass and the 8300 is n... 
PS Audio Power Point , rebadge or real?
Avoid Nickel. Either pure brass or copper. 
Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good?
I don't think much of the Eichmans; A cheap plastic plug, IMO. WBT Nextgens are better and Xhadows are the best for all metal plugs. There are a few reviews on the web that compare various plug brands. Worth checking out.Also as mentioned, most co... 
Is it just me?
