@gdaddy1 I hear you… But I would also have to construct my own cables in that case. I’m using power cables that have plugs on them.
Good outlet for amplifiers
I have a circuit in my listening room for my amplifiers and it uses a dedicated ground. Right now I have two duplex outlets connected - and I use the primary outlet (first on the run) for the amps (reserve secondary for subwoofers if needed). I would like to install better quality outlets for this - two duplex, set up for a dedicated ground. I could see spending $100-$200 per duplex, if that gets me something decent. I want it to grip the plugs well. Recommendations?
PS - I'm running two VAC Phi-200 amplifiers (200w tube amps, KT88)

But why the priority for isolated grounds? Why not use Puritan groundmaster instead. Shunyata or nordost have their grounding systems also for much more money. @jea48 what are your thoughts on isolated grounds? |
I confirmation of others before me, the Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Ultimate Nano-Crystal Rhodium-Plated AC Duplex Receptacle produced an audible difference. |
@pinball101 Wouldnt I get a better connection, at least to the first outlet, by going directly into the outlet rather than creating a pigtail in the box? That’s what I was thinking and why I would Daisy chain. Because the most important outlet will be the first one where the two amplifiers are set also, this quad installation is the end of a circuit… So I’m not too worried about other outlets further downstream. I can't speak to the benefits of direct connection vs the pigtails in line with the connection. But based on your configuration being at the end of the circuit, I would not bother with the pigtails either. I'm not familiar with the isolated grounding you are referencing so I can't speak to that either.
