OP called this "receptacle porn". What is pornographic about any of it? Nothing I saw.

These look good but why go to all the work? I would never try to sell this to anyone unless they just enjoy spending money. I see very few of those customers any more.

Well Randy's (OP) link shows $750 for those and they aren't TR receptacles. The sillites that Jumper links to are less than $20.00 and are removable with two screws. The other you need a special tool to remove it for $150.00. https://www.bocci.ca/store/products/22.1-Remove-Tool.html

i was just astounded at the price....

but then everyone ran over for show and tell in the AV arena,
where reason and logic haven't ever been permitted......

"The speaker cables for Kharma speakers.

"The Enigma Signature Loudspeaker cable is the upper-end
loudspeaker cable based on a huge number of various diameter
pure silver-gold conductors and is terminated with special high
quality pure silver-gold Kharma spades, realizing a high-quality
one-material conductor-termination-circuit. Besides the conductors
are equipped with the Kharma Advanced Core Treatment 1.0
(ACT-1.0) and the Kharma Proprietary Insulation 1.0 (KPI-1.0).

In addition a massive vibration isolating tubing reduces the vibrations
to a minimum before reaching the pure silver-gold conductors.
Furthermore the conductors are placed behind ultra effective shielding
to protect the signal from unwanted external electromagnetic interference.

All this leads to a crystal clear and very powerful cable, with extreme
revelation of the smallest detail, infinite resolution, enormous dynamics,
sweetness, air and a very realistic and transparent, holographic soundstage
with an overwhelming musicality.""


Kharma Enigma Extreme Signature Loudspeaker cable Pair of 2m $ 32,500


speaker wire, folks. speaker wire... about 13' of it....

and let's not forget a cord made out of pure unobtanium to power that
freon cooled photon amp....

Kharma Enigma Power Cable Piece of 2m $ 5,500


my original post was that i was just marveling at the outlets...
i was thinking they looked pretty cool, as for access to the box,
bring your forceps. if i had to put these in, i'd put a 4SD steel box,
and plan my wiring carefully.

alas, there aren't as many customers willing to pay $300 per outlet
for the device, not counting the labor, as there might have been a
few years ago....

Buy 4 of these auido grade recptacles and SAVE $7.00 each off of the MSRP of $147 each.

Wow what a bargin for a Spec grade recptacle.

take a moment to read the customer reviews.
my BS filter is now completely clogged, and must be cleaned with a toothbrush.

"Sorry guys, as the proud owner of Wattgate 381 serial # 000007 and 000008
you are really missing out on what the special 'first runs' give you.

(Everyone knows the die tooling just is not the same after the first dozen or so)
I personally would not be caught dead with those later editions being sold now by PE.
To confirm my suspicions, I did a side by side by side test with a newly purchased 381,
ser. 322630 and my 000007 and 000008 beauties.

The only way to truly tell how 'miss-led' you 'late converts' are with the perfection
and pinnacle of audio reproduction.
I bought 3 Bose Wave music systems. (I am not crazy enough to test with my reference Wave)
No contest. The sonic transparency of by beloved 7 and 8 really shined.

(I don't even think they are triple plated any more, the mid-high timber just sounds like double plated to me)
(full disclosure, I did have Shemp electron polarity and uniformity upgrade, thanks Dr. Shemp)
I do use the new 381 for my cats electric tooth brush, no cavities!"


i think i'm going to throw up now.....:sick:

???? are they legal , these receptacles porno disks ..........????

actually, they are CSA and UL approved.... so they say anyway....
aside from being not tamper resistant.....

the local distributor in the LA area is a boutique lighting store off melrose....
who makes a specific point of listing all the celebrities on their customer list....

"Through word of mouth, Plug has provided to a who?s who in the Hollywood
community including Brad Pitt, Steven Speilberg and Kate Capshaw,
Jennifer Aniston, Kanye West, John Legend, Ben Stiller, Michael Keaton,
Colleen Atwood and Patrick Dempsey. In 2011, Plug Lighting was featured
at the prestigious Grammy Awards in Los Angeles."

so, now we know who buys this stuff.... ;-)
