Greetings friends, acquaintances and sphincters!

I've been keeping an eye out for a deal for some PS Audio receptacles on eBay. I remember reading that a lot of people here recommend them as a good upgrade. A couple days ago I sent someone an offer of $45 (he was asking $55) plus $7.75 shipping cost for three receptacles and he accepted. Two new in box PS Audio Power Port Classics and one used VooDoo Cable Outlet with wall plate. I wanted to know if anyone here had any experience with both brands. Any differences? Is the Voodoo on par with the Power Port? I know you guys frown upon certain brands and find some inferior to others. I don't remember reading anything about the Voodoo brand here. I don't want to wake up one morning and find a chicken with it's head cut off and a bowl full of bones sitting on one of my speakers.

    Yep, that looks like the one. I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell you if there is a model name on it anywhere, but here is a pic from the auction.

    Well its funny how good they make my system sound ;)

    They are the lightest power cables I have seen, and they really are that flexible.
