Uh unh!

I doubt he's achieved "95% of the improvement with hospital grade" at all! Hospital grade is a bit beefier in many instances, but also has extra or different platings and is really designed for a harsh cleaning chemical environment, more than anything.

MRI grade receptacles are an improvement, as they actually pay attention to removing all ferrous metals, something taht hospital grade does not do ordinarily.

While I've tested neither, I'm going on results reported here and in particular by Al Sekela, who tested tweaked P&S outlets, MRI grade P&S that was cryoed, Furutech Cu (old model), and Oyaide gold. You can look up his results here in the archives, but he rates the MRI grade high and the reason is what I mention above. He does NOT rate it nearly as high as the Oyaides (and I've heard his system before and after).

I've worked with tweaked P&S outlets and with both Furu Cu and Oyaide SWO-XXX now. I can vouch that there is far more improvement possible with the better audio grades I'm mentioning than with what a regular hospital grade would give you (barely better if that than any other more than cheap contractor grade outlet).
