Outlet Question

Could not find category for outlets so I am asking here. What would be good outlets to change too? I had hospital grade from Home Depot 20 years ago but left them when I moved. Is there any good outlets for about $20 U.S. anyone can recommend? I don't want to go crazy but get something better than what is stock on homes built in the last 4 years. Any suggestions would be great!

@romad ,

Leviton 15-Amp, 125-Volt Industrial Grade Tamper-Resistant Duplex Receptacle, 5262-SG

You may not even need a Tamper Resistant outlet. Is it behind an audio rack?

I would use this one. It’s a heavy duty. Build quality is better than the above "TR" Leviton outlet. Cheaper price too. Doesn’t have the TR shutters.

Home Depot.

15 Amp Industrial Grade Heavy Duty Self Grounding Duplex Outlet, White 

Amazon.

There is nothing good @20 bucks. Get the AQ Edison. You generally only need one, and only have to buy it once.

Outlets do not affect audio quality.

Does anyone know the purpose of the blackstrap on an outlet?
