ITEM! Furutech has just launched their new groundbreaking GTX-D series PURE COPPER receptacles!!! The new GTX series is the first AC receptacle I'm aware of that use PURE copper contacts (not brass or bronze). Furutech worked for years to solve the springiness/hardness issue that previously prevented the practical use of pure copper, and the way they did this was ingenious! Another BIG benefit to the new Furutech GTX series is the fact that it won't mar the finish of expensive platings on your male AC plugs. The superior conductivity of pure copper vs. any brass or copper alloy is evident in the huge micro and macro dynamic contrasts, and sweet, extended highs. Grip is excellent, and I consider the Furutech GTX series to be THE best receptacle I've heard. Choose rhodium if you prefer a more up-front presentation, or gold, if you prefer a slightly warmer, more laid-back presentation.

*** The GTX series is also available with optional 6 day conditioning on a cable cooker!

ITEM! Oyaide (pronounced "Oh-yah-ee-day") is the new kid on the block, with their AC power connectors and receptacles. One look at these confirms the Japanese obsession with quality materials and workmanship. Oyaide receptacles are among the best AC receptacles on the market today, with special attention paid to the polishing and plating processes used. Oyaide AC receptacles also have a "dimple" on the neutral contact that mates perfectly with the hole you find on the neutral blade of a male AC plug. This means even more contact surface area, and a fit/finish more like a SWiss watch than an AC receptacle. Nice. Available in several different plated versions. The new Oyaide R1 receptacle is the "cream of the crop". ALL RECEPTACLES, Including the Oyaide R1 ARE IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP!!!
*** Oyaide R1 also available with optional 6 day conditioning on cable cooker!

Please note VH Audio will be discontinuing the P&S line of receptacles. Stock is limited and may be depleted soon. We regret having to make this business decision, but Pass and Seymour has recently made it very difficult to source these receptacles at competitive prices, unless unreasonably large volumes are purchased. Too bad.
8200-MRI (15A) and 8300 MRI (20A)- This new "hospital grade" receptacle is a new item by Pass and Seymour, and was developed for use in hospital environments where there can be NO ferrous (magnetic) materials- especially areas that contain MRI machines. The main difference between the "MRI" series and the 5262A series is this receptacle has absolutely no ferrous/magnetic material or nickel anywhere- even the rivets, mounting screws, and conductor screw terminals. Available in Ivory or White, and Deep Cryogenic treatment. is standard.
CR6200 (15A) and CR6300 (20A)- Essentially identical to the 5262A series, but are also nickel plated, which is ideal for harsh, corrosive environments. Deep Cryogenic treatment. is standard.
