All Customer Comments, Wattgate 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket
> I received my Wattgate 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket in the mail yesterday. Well, I shouldn't say "in" the mail because when
> I went to my porch to get the package, the package was just floating there. It was about 2 or 3 feet off the ground. I grabbed the
> delivery man before he left (as he was right down the street) and he said, and I quote "I don't want any trouble, just take your package
> and leave me alone".
>
> Not only was that odd, but when I took it inside, I couldn't put it down on the table. The package would just float. Very strange indeed.
> I go to open the package and I find there is nothing inside. Now I am angry. This is supposed to be the best receptacle on the market and
> all I got was a floating box. Inside there is a piece of paper. "Place a drop of water in the box".
>
> As I have nothing else to do, I add a drop of water to the bottom of the box and to my surprise the receptacle began to re-assemble
> itself. I should have known. Nano-machine technology. Apparently this item was assembled using nano machines and shipped with nano
> machines. Normal box packaging would damage the sensitive audio components. I should have known.
>
> Unfortunately one of the machines went haywire, escaped the box and ate my television. I am not happy about it. However, I did install
> the socket after throwing the box in the yard (the machines die after being outside for 20 minutes). I have never, in my life heard audio
> like this. I finally understood Mozart, Beethoven and Nirvana. I understand music on a whole new level. I have become...a music God. I
> only drink Tuscan Whole Milk. I am one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> While pouring a fresh glass of Tuscan whole milk, I splashed a few drops on the wall... Horrified at my clumsiness, I tried to clean the
> mess from my recently installed Wattgate 381 receptacle with a dampened microfiber cloth. I accidentally pushed the wet cloth a bit
> too far into one of the slots with a screwdriver and received a rather large jolt of electricity.
>
> While electrified, I swear I heard the sweet, sweet voices of a multitude of angels all singing in perfect harmony. That sound is
> with me still and I've decided to forgo the purchase of a new Denon sound system and will invest instead in a new gold-plated screwdriver
> so I can hear the voices again and again.

> Yesterday the hospital called me. My grandmother had had a car accident, and was in surgery. I rushed there, and a nurse friend of
> mine (bow-chicka-wow-wow) got me into an observation room off the OR. I watched my grandmother's heartrate flatline. The crash cart rushed
> over, and instead of a defibrillator there was a Wattgate 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket and a screwdriver. I watched, still in shock as
> they placed the screwdriver into my dying grandmother's hand, and carefully guided her hand to the socket and had her insert the
> screwdriver into the socket. Immediately, there was a bright flash, and my grandmother jumped up on the operating table and started
> singing the most beautiful opera I have ever heard. I think it was Carmen. Whatever it was, it brought tears to my eyes. And the socket
> wasn't even wired to any other electrical system! My grandmother has completely recovered, and a major label just signed her new punk-rock
> band. She no longer drinks or smokes either! And I owe it all to the Wattgate 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket. Thank you so much Wattgate
> 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket!!!
>
> P.S. I now carry a Wattgate 381 Audio Grade Duplex Socket and a screwdriver with me at all times, in case of emergencies. I will
> never be without one again.

> I purchased four of these, as I wanted to improve the audio quality of my home theater setup, and had read in other reviews that these
> outlets were made with clippings of Christ's fingernails.
>
> After my harrowing experience, I highly doubt that.
>
> Upon arriving home from work, I found the package containing the outlets to be hovering a few inches off of the porch. Nervous at
> first, I remembered from previous reviews that this was normal behavior for these outlets. Unlike the other reviews though, my
> package seemed to be covered in a dark red substance. I found this was because the package had dismembered my delivery driver, and had
> stored his (her?) remains underneath our glider rocker. Nervously, I brought the package into my house. Thank God my wife and kids weren't
> home at the time.
>
> When I tore the package open, the outlets demanded a sacrifice before bestowing their audio goodness upon my household. Reluctantly, I
> offered them our dog Patches. They instantly devoured the dogs flesh and soul. It was horrific to say the least, but unbeknownst to them,
> Patches was old and cancer-riddled anyways, so it was a win-win.
>
> After the sacrifice was completed, the outlets went to work, not only installing themselves into our brick wall, but also making blood
> begin to flow up our walls. They said that this improved the voltage, but I still have my doubts.
>
> After the amazing self-installation, I turned on my Playstation 3 to sample my new audio excellence, and let me be the first to tell you,
> this is where you make your investment back TEN FOLD. Upon powering up, I went to put on a Blu-Ray movie, but found that the outlets had
> transferred EVERY movie ever made onto my PS3's now 100 PB hard drive.
>
> However, I was forced by the outlets to watch a sex tape involving Kathy Bates and a gorilla. While not my idea of a good time, you
> could really hear the bass in Ms. Bates' grunts, and the highs in the gorilla's cries like never before!

> I was very satisfied with this outlet behind my entertainment center with my Panamax M5300-PM 11-Outlet Home Theater Power Conditioner
> plugged in to it. Sound has never been better. Emboldened by the success, I thought to put one of these outlets in the garage where I
> plug in my Black & Decker CMM1200 19-Inch 24-Volt Cordless Electric Mulching Lawn Mower (which I like very much, thank you). It took a
> couple of charges to get to full effectiveness, but yes, the cut has become more even. Yes, there used to be small ruts where the wheels
> went and minor ridges next to them, and the odd weed sticking up, but no more! Now I go out with my laser level and check the grass after
> each cut, and it's perfect! The bagging feature works better, too. I haven't had to get out the broom or blower in a month!
