Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp
Trying to decide between these two 20 amp outlets.
Shunyata SR-Z1 is cryogenically treated and built well, cost $100.
Hubble makes a hospital grade outlet HBL 8300 for about $30-$40.
Should I stick with Shunyata since I use their Power cords and cables? Anybody know anything about these outlets?

Yes it meets, exceeds, NEC requirements.
Not good for feeding audio equipment.

Thanks @jea48 - I had no idea anyone used other than steel. That's pretty cool. | ||
I use both 5362 and 8300. Two 5362's in wall and 8300's in my power conditioners. They were all manufactured 20+ years ago. When trying them in wall the 5362 was slightly richer sounding with the 8300 sounding a little lighter/brighter. I use the 8300's in my power conditioners which are fed by the 5362. I purchased a bunch (24 I think) of the 8300's as used pulls for $30/shipped which is partly why I went with them. Back then the 5362 retailed for <$20, but you could find them for <$8 at electrical supply houses. There were also different versions of the 8300 with some being plated brass and some being plain brass (some of those in my bulk purchase were plated). I used the plain version for HiFi. I'll add that in my city using 20 amp units in a 15 amp system is against code.
