In Reply to: Cryogenic treatment of AC outlets posted by Albertporter on October 11, 2002 at 23:33:06:
in your search for perfection, but I must admit that I find the prospect of cryo-treating an AC outlet amusing, as opposed to enticing. What's next, cryo-treatment of BX cable and then the circuit-breaker box and then the line out to the telephone pole and then the local neighborhood transformer? I refuse ultimately to dip my head in liquid nitrogen, if it comes to that (although you may wish I would do it). Sorry for the sarcasm; I do fully agree that high quality AC outlets are worth the small extra investment required, and that cryo-treatment of vacuum tubes, etc, may have some theoretical benefits. But can you hear a difference after you cryo-treat a high quality outlet like the Hubbel? (I personally use the Pass and Seymour 8300HI, which I buy locally for $20 each.) If so, please describe...
