RE: Hubbell 8300H Oyaide R-0 or Maestro

"Do you suppose that the $2 Home Depot outlet is pure junk? So inferior are the materials that even superior cryo'ing can't improve it?"

You don't seem to understand what cryo treatment can and cannot do in this regard. The issue is not whether cryo treatment will improve the sound of a $2 AC outlet, it's that it won't improve it enough to provide audiophile quality performance. Cryo treatment is not a magic wand. Even the intensive double-cryogenic treatment Audio Excellence AZ provides via Cryogenics International won't make a $2 AC outlet sound good enough to exclude a non-cryo'd Audio Grade AC outlet from an audiophile shopping list.

"Do you suppose that the $100 hospital / audio-grade outlet is that superior?

Absolutely superior, and it's not supposition on my part. I have many years of experience evaluating various AC outlets, both cryo'd and non-cryo'd. It seems odd for one to believe a $2 AC outet can sound as good as an Audio Grade or even a Hospital Grade product simply by cryo treating it, no matter how advanced the particular cryogenic treatment method may be.

"What is your listening experience with a $2 outlet that was cryo'd preferably via the full immersion method?"

There's no need to go through the trouble of installing a cryo'd $2 AC outlet in order to evaluate it against a non-cryo'd $2 AC outlet, much less any need to compare such with a cryo'd nor non-cryo'd Audio Grade or even a non-cryo'd old-school Hospital Grade design pulled from someone's orphaned audiophile parts box.
