Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle

@secretguy goofy topic….

The unfortunate truth is - everything matters. Especially when it comes to what’s powering your components.
If you have invested considerable amounts of time, money and effort carefully building your system and room acoustics, not trying a high quality outlet for the cost involved is a sin. But it’s up to you. A $3 Home Depot outlet will provide adequate power to your system, no doubt about it. 

Funny how a few tweak atheists ruin it for everyone. They are the minority and the most annoying.

Sorry Jerry. Waste your money as you see fit.

To each his own, power and cables etc everything does matter   I started this thread and still contend the expensive plug and dedicated 20amp circuit made a huge difference, not small huge.   Happy Holidays!

Don’t use hospital grade outlets.

They are designed for one important thing, to reject water corrosion due to constant everyday wet splashing from nurses cleaning and mopping hospital rooms.

The best corrosion resistant plating is nickel (gold is actually best but generally too expensive for this application).

Guess which is the worst sounding receptacle plating? Nickel.

So those telling you to ‘just get hospital grade outlets’ really don’t understand the erroneous advice they are giving. They presume because it’s labelled ‘hospital grade’ this is a sign of quality or somehow makes it good for audio systems.

Of course, if you do not believe power connector plating has any effect on sound quality then by all means treat yourself to the inferior sound they provide.
