I've been listening to the P&S MRI outlets for 2 months, and they are just amazing. I got them already cryo'd from VHaudio, and then had them cryo'd again by a friend from Audiogon whose advice I trust. They are amazing. I wouldn't say they're 'etched' like the coopers, but they are stunningly revealing. I didn't think cryoing them again would make any difference, but it was a noticeable improvement. I've had cables "double-cryo'd" before, and it didnt' make a difference, but with outlets, it seems more effective.
JMO.

for a freakin' outlet. I'm still trying hard to pick the suitable cryo'd outlet since there are quite a few to choose from. We have VHaudio, CryoParts, ACME and all have received good reviews. Guess it'll take a little while longer for me to make up my mind.
If you're shopping around, consider the Furu Fi-15. Its $40, free shipping thorugh some suppliers too. Blows away any of the P&S or other OEM outlets that are cryo'd. I have a cryo'd P&S outlet from CV, its soooooo bright and nasty compared to the Furu which was $8 more. I also have 4 Oyaide SWO-XXX, one of which is cryo'd. The furu is a fantastic performer.

It's strange, because I agree with your opinions, except for the "brightness" of the P&S outlet, which I can't agree with, unless you got a "bad" issue.
I like the Furutechs alot, (except for the G models), but they just aren't "better" than the P&S, at least to the extent you're stating.
Have you tried a cryo'd P&S MRI outlet?
Hey Wayne,haven't tried the MRI, they may be a difft beast than the 5262 i bought from CV, but the brightness I experience is definitely not subjective! for me, there's no comparison the furu or Oyaide's & so for an extra $10 over what the P&S costs the furu is a no brainer in my book. the better outlets have much more low end authority too.
I had the P&S in place for almost 2 years...at the time i thought i was nuts for spending $30 on an outlet! But, after a trial with the Oyaide's it was apparent that outlets designed for electronic gear work better than the std stuff you buy at HD.
my guess is the P&S 5262 i have has nickel in it.
Well, I'm intrigued with this outlet issue, thanx to you all. Someone has sold me a couple of used but brass plated Hubbells for a few bucks. I'm gonna try them out for a month to see what happens. It's a pain in the ears to wait for their break-in to take affect because it sounds muffled and lifeless from the start.I didn't like Furutech's gold-plated series and wondered if the copper-plated FP-15A would sound similar, warm and spacious but too soft in the top end. Perhaps full-brass outlets are all sound this way and many people who don't like brightness seemed to appreciate it since it's less-fatiguing.
