Wall outlets

Thanks for posting your virtual system. Very nice. It really helps with recommendations.

If you are installing direct lines I think it makes sense to install audiophile grade outlets.

By the way. A case of beer is too much to install an outlet… one beer appropriate.

I would just do a hospital grade outlet if you are not putting in a direct line. The direct line will have a much bigger impact that just the outlet.

If you do not have direct lines (two preferred, one for amp, one for the rest), I highly recommend doing that.

Hospital grade is the worst, simply means that the outlet is resistant to moisture and chemicals used for disinfecting and cleaning hospital floors and walls. Most have anti corrosive coatings that are not great conductors.

You are saying that hospital grade sounds worse than 89 cent (or whatever it is now) Home Depot cheap duplex receptacle?

Nice job!! Have you experimented bringing your chair closer to your rack? The speakers look a little narrow for how far back you sit. Dolby guidelines are a 22 to 30 degree angle. As for outlets I use Pangea, very nice.:

@kota1 the bass traps just got here yesterday. I have considered pulling the speakers a little closer to the side walls to see how that sounds. I have not had a chance to do the chair yet. If you check out my system you can see my sons knees on the left side of the picture haha. I also have some GIK acoustic 6a alpha panels to put behind the couch, then I plan on pulling the couch out a little more.
