RE: Hubbell 8300H Oyaide R-0 or Maestro

Cryo treatment will not make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Cryo treatment for a $2 AC outlet is simply polishing a turd. The only benefit of cryo treatment is better optimized grain structures for metals other than an OCC single crystal type. There is much more to a high performance AC outlet design than the crystalline boundaries of the base metal contacts, which in the case of cheap AC outlets, the base metal is thin and flimsy, with poor mechanical resonance control provided by both the contacts and the connector body. No matter how good the quality of cryo treatment might be, it won't improve other performance criteria.
