The brass parts are listed as nickel plated in the Hubbell documentation (HBL8300*).
This is a problem for audio use, as nickel plating causes problems with the electrical contacts to these parts. Audiophile outlets generally have various exotic plating schemes that do not include nickel. This is another reason why hospital-grade outlets do not work well for resolving audio systems.
