I used regular old Leviton (I think? not sure) "spec grade" duplex
receptacles for all the receps upstairs in my house. Someone sent me a
link to this product and I am wondering if perhaps I should return the
unused ones and purchase these instead. They do look like a superior
product but I'm not sure if they're worth the price premium.

*LOL I'm not sure how much value those things will add to the house. Go
with Hubbell or Pass & Seymour if you want to upgrade, but you should be
fine with the Leviton for normal household use.

Amazing what some people will buy. I expect the same customer base as
Monster (hype and markup) Cable, CD stabilizer bricks, Oxygen free
copper power cords and the like. All snake oil.

If you want a top grade receptacle, get a hospital grade Hubbell.

Where's the UL listing? I don't see it mentioned at Amazon or the
company's website.

$146 for one wall outlet is ridiculous for something that doesn't
include ground fault, arc fault, and surge protection and an L-C EMI
filter. Why not just buy UL hospital grade outlets for $15-50
apiece? Better yet, save your money and buy the second-cheapest
outlets from an electrical supply or hardware store for about $2-3.
They're made of tough nylon, unlike the $0.50 outlets, which are made
of brittle plastic (phenolic? Bakelite?).

Yea for that price it should do for men what those fancy showheads do for
women.

There is a lot of profit to be made in selling snake oil, at least until
the FTC or similar shuts down your scam.

Nice link, but if they can make it that cheap I wouldn't expect it to
provide much improvement.

By coincidence I just ran across
http://www.lessloss.com/blackbody-p-200.html
on sci.electronics.design
A couple points of interest from the link:
"The Blackbody utilizes particle/wave patterns to work, and therefore
does not need to be wired to your gear. It needs only to be placed near
your audio system..."
"A set of three is recommended"

And my favorite audiophile post - from alt.engineering.electrical

line 4 - from Bill Shymanski
