Wall outlets

Hey everyone, don’t kill me I know it’s been talked about a bit. I’m am currently about to upgrade my wall outlet. Commercial vs Audio outlets. The general consensus is commercial hospital outlets would work but they can strip the coating off our nice power cables. I have talked a bit with @audphile1 on this matter. Furutech has my attention. I have considered upgrading my power cable to the Furutech DPS 4.1 cable and get a Furutech outlet with the same finish. A friend of mine is an electrician and has offered to install a new outlet behind my rack. He said I could pay with a case of beer. Haha. Sorry if I started a new 🔥🔥🔥. The forum is fun, there is far more knowledge here than we are going to find anywhere else IMO. Also I finally got my virtual system up for anyone to take a look. Thanks everyone

When it comes to outlets, I found great improvement by installing  dedicated 20 Amp line split into 4 outlets, since your friend is an electrician, buy two cases of beer and get him to work. Just my suggestion.

Seeing the placement of you sub I have to ask, did you place it there after a subcrawl or was it just the most convenient placing? Im not criticizing, just asking.

 

Thanks,

From another posting…

This is my choice….well made at a reasonable cost if you can get by the knock off brand name use. I wish they wouldn’t use real brand names. We know they aren’t real brands.

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