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!

I've long admired IsoClean products when I saw and heard them at the various shows, but their receptacles never hit my radar. Big mistake. These receptacles are incredible sounding, and given the integrated pure copper faceplate, a true bargain. The IsoClean ICP-003 series AC duplex receptacles have gold plated contacts throughout, and the copper faceplate acts as a shield against RFI. The faceplate is also grounded to the receptacle. The ICP-003 comes with two different facplate options: a cool looking brushed-gold plate, or a very sleek mirror-like silver finish. The electrical contacts have been modified and polished to increase total contact area (thereby reducing contact resistance) in order to improve reliability and reduce noise. I anticipate this receptacle is going to get alot of attention from audiophiles in the coming weeks/months. Both receptacles are in stock, but supplies are limited...
IsoClean also has introduced an audiophile grade AC mains receptacle for our friends in the United Kingdom- the RFT-13 PS! To my knowldege, this is the only audiophile grade U.K. receptacle on the market. The IsoClean RFT-13 is supplied with a pure copper faceplate/shield to absorb harmful airborne RF, and the shield is grounded to the mains socket. High-grade 24K Gold plated Clipsal sockets ensure the best contact and corrosion resistance, for long term reliability. The contacts have been modified and polished to increase contact area to further improve reliability and reduce noise. All IsoClean RFT-13 receptacles are individually handcrafted to exacting professional standards.

ITEMS! Furutech has just announced the availability of their new FP-15a and FT-D20 receptacles at CES 2007, as well as their new carbon fiber receptacle faceplate covers! The new FP15a and FT-D20a series have set a new bar in AC receptacle contstruction. My personal experience that these grip better than ANY other receptacle on the market. No more drooping of your heavier power cables! More information (.pdf files) on these brand new receptacles may be found by clicking here: FP-15A Series; FT-D20A Series
The new 104 carbon fiber receptacle cover is also an excellent addition to the Furutech lineup, and has some serious "bling" factor, as well as functionally improving resonance control. More information on the Carbon fiber cover may be found here: 104 Carbon Fiber receptacle cover
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.
