In Reply to: My outlet comparison results (long). posted by Al Sekela on February 21, 2007 at 08:51:30:
........there is some very good info to be gleened here.May I ask why the Oyaide outlet's weren't cryo'd?
" Testing was done with the CD power cord plugged into the outlet under test, with the remaining outlets still connected to the AC. It took a few seconds to reset the CD player each time after the cord was moved to a different outlet. I'm sure the additional wiring and outlets on the circuit added some noise, but the results were clear enough for my purposes."
If I may, could I suggest that there might be parasitic resonances in the unused outlets during the test and placing child safety caps/inserts in each port of the unused outlets would dampen the resonances thereby giving a more accurate test model closer to a single outlet?
Cheers and thanx again for the report :-)

See below for my thinking on the cryo-treatment issue.Cryo-treatment is a way of annealing stresses out of metal parts. If it relaxes the spring tension of the outlet receptacle blades, it could be a bad thing for overall performance.
hey,I have 4 SWO-XXX outlets and a pack of the child safety plugs...i've always used them in other outlets on the same circuit as my gear.
In your opinion, is there anyway the plastic that makes up the safety plugs can come off inside the outlets? Since investing in Oyaide, i don't use any Silclear or anything else..i don't want to muck up the outlets or interefere with oyaide's plating.
i want to stick the safety plugs in those outlets, but i'm not the type to open up the outlets once a year to clean the internal outlet prongs.

Even so, I would think that several repetative insertions of a male plug into the outlet would remove any deposits on the plug tongs.
I too am leary about using any kind of "treatment" on my Oyaide outlets/plugs :-)
I seen the new iso-clean AC caps and am pondering them in place of the child safety caps.
