Not just for Wile E. Coyote anymore.

http://www.acmeaudiolabs.com/products.htm

I found this site in search for an affordable upgrade receptacle. They offer one that is Silver Plated, high copper brass that is Cryo treated for $35 dollars. Thought of trying one as this is in my budget ball park and would be better than my current receptacle.

Does anyone have any experience with this vendor?

Also they offer cryo treated silver fuses for $12. I am in the process of upgrading a set of Monitor 10As and thought these might be a good match. Shipping is reasonable also, $5.50 for up to 4 items.

Feedback on Vendor or Receptacles would be appreciated. I live in a rental so I cannot run a dedicated line, but due to existing wiring my electronics is on one circuit.

    Make sure you get the $40 to $70 wall plates or you won't get the full benefit of the new receptacles.
