I have tried several Hubbells......my favorites are the older 8300 model with the unplated swipes and non magnetic back strap, I didn't notice bright or harsh from them, there really nice sounding outlets at a fair price.....unfortunatly Hubbell made a material change to the 8300, they now are tin or nickel plated with a steel back strap (highly magnetic) and they do differ soundwise. Tin or nickel plating is used more so for harsh enviorments and really not needed fo audio. My preference do not favor tin or nickel plating on Any outlet......YMMV
