Quality outlets for non-audio

TR is fine.  I don't mind paying extra to get up to code, though I have no children to worry about playing around with paper clips in outlets here. 

I meant to say this house was about 15 years old.  It was built in 2006, I guess the TR requirement got added in 2008 so they just missed the cutoff.

Thanks, I’ll look @ Moen (both bathrooms could use new fixtures as well).

I have a spare/complete Delta unit for the kitchen, plus a spare spout.

I don’t recall the P&S specific model numbers, but think they were from the 53XX series.

The main problem I was experiencing was with older lamps (1920’s-1940’s).

I replaced the sockets, but kept the Art-Deco power cords and plugs (the blades on the plugs are a bit thin).

Erik:

I use a 50’ extension cord on our vacuum cleaner as regardless of the outlet I tended to pull the plug (problem solved).

PS:

Didn't realize the Hubbells were so expensive (I paid around $80 for 26 pulls).

Well, it doesn't really matter how I use extension cables.  I have a canister vac with plenty of cord in it. Regardless of that, some of my outlets have so little grip gravity alone will cause any plug to fall out.  Time to start replacing them as I find them.

The first ones I replaced were the ones behind bookshelves, sofa, bed and other heavy furniture.

Glad I did it back then as I'm not up to the heavy moving now (18 years later).

We rent but the quality of most landlord repairs is so lacking that I prefer to do it myself if possible.

Loose outlets arc (micro-arc) so what you are doing is well worth the effort.
