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

This is supposed to be a fun pace to come ask for someone’s thoughts. Not to criticize or belittle someone. There has not been one time I have created a forum to get genuine options on something and without fail someone starts to run their mouth. Just sayin…

You must have purchased counterfeit Furutech locking bananas, I have seen no such problem with them.

I apologize for responding to a post that I think is just being a contrary  , I've never bothered  taking the time before but today it just got to me .

From your post you are leaning towards going with the Furutech GTX-D NCF that cost $280 without a cover .  while I am using Audioquest NGR Edison ( now $80 less than Furutech ) it comes with the outlet cover  , it was also on sale for $135 .  I would have gone with Cardas ( about 5 years ago ) but then they were using what looks like a Hubble made outlet  whereas now they look like they are using an Audioquest made which costs $150 without a cover . I think that all 3 would be equivalent .

As for Medical Grade or HG they are just very heavy duty for being able to handle constant plugging and unplugging and also after taking one apart the 15amp is the same internally as the 20amp !
