1st, I am not affiliated with Albert Porter, don't make any money on this, I am friends with him, others have the same experience. Contact him for references.

Porter Ports, a special order Hubbell 8300 that has no multi-layered bright nickel plating on the contacts and has the same higher impact resistance thermoplastic polyester face as the Hubbell 8300’s do. The outlet is treated by a long computer-controlled cryo immersion.

I bought one, was skeptical, tried it, and all I can say is wow. I can't believe the improvments in detail, background queitness, but especially a much more dramatic 3d rendering of instruments. My wife can even hear the difference, even on direct tv watching football games. The sound just has more impact.

If you are the type that is skeptical, try it. For me, it was like a interconnect cable upgrade in the 4 digit price range, not approx $40 like these are.

The only others I've had are home depot hubbels and PS Audio power ports. Both helped, but, not sure it was anything worth writing about. The Porter Ports are a steal for $40.

I like this so much, I've bought a 2nd from Albert, installed it on my phono stage and motor controller for my SME 20/2. Same thing. More detail, much more queit background, better images. My 1st Porter Port is on my amp and preamp.

I think I'll buy a 3rd for my video projector. I wonder if the picture will have the same improvements?

Approximate cost $40 +/-
