Topband: Gold Plated AC Outlets Accelerate W3UR's Quest for TB DXCC-300

[Joe Wilkowski]

Here is a testimonial to this wonderful receptacle taken from the website:

"I was looking for a type of an A/C socket that would limit amount of noise, 
EMI and harmonics coming from the surrounding electrical circuits. Having 
any type of resistance between in the power supply and electrical equipment 
allows an eddy current to flow creating a magnets flux. The harmonics in the 
third and fifth from this flux where causing the current and voltage wave to 
be asinusoidal. The noise was too much for my y-flux capacitor to deliver 
the necessary power to my amp. This plug would make all the differences in 
the world."

I guess his Y-flux is fussy.

>>Yes but I need one for 220 for my amp - I already have a handful of 110's.
