Re: nickle test

The Hubbell HBL8300 vs. HBL8300H is an excellent direct comparison test. However, I've also experienced nickel plated AC connectors placed on various power cords and can report the same opinion about nickel plating. Bob Crump went so far as to remove the nickel plating from his much loved P&S AC plug's neutral blade. Hubbell also makes an AC plug with a nickel plated neutral blade, and I much prefer the unplated Hubbell Valise AC plug over it. Nickel's effect/sonic signature is simply less coherent and open (in my opinion) as compared to "non-nickel plated types".
