Image: Unplated bare brass Hubbell 5362 AC outlet
The PS Audio Power Port is essentially a nickel plated brass Hubbell 8300, a design which has always been avoided by audiophiles in favor of unplated, bare brass AC outlet models such as the Hubbell 5362, and various true Audio Grade AC outlets within the audiophile marketplace. Why PS Audio chose a nickel plated product is unknown to me, since the SQ is obviously inferior. Perhaps the anti-oxidization aspect was their only consideration.
Since the designation of the Power Port as being an Audio Grade AC outlet is unfounded, defending the Power Port from an audiophile POV is impossible. While I do enjoy PS Audio power line conditioner products, all of the stock Power Port AC outlets were upgraded with true Audio Grade AC outlet products long ago, which is a rather common thing that many PS Audio PLC users have chosen to do.
