Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets

Greetings,

I’d like to get some recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets.

I currently have two PS Audio outlets in my current room, but my system will be relocated to its permanent location when I finish my dedicated listening room in a few months.  I’m using 10 gauge Romex for the dedicated 20 amp outlets.

I have a few electrical outlets on my list of interest;

- Audioquest NRG Edison Duplex

- Pangea Audio Premier XL

- The Maestro Outlet (by Cruze First Audio) - *Great reviews on website and forums

- Hubbell outlet (not sure of any particular model number?)

Please share your impressions and any comparison experiences would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I have dedicated lines and use the Hubbell 5362 outlets. I swapped in an Oyaide in my previous room, I did not detect a significant difference. I know that others have had good results with audiophile outlets, I may try again with my new room and a more resolving system. Regardless of the outlet used, you will realize some significant improvements with the dedicated lines, I did.

@zlone I’ve read that the PS Audio outlets that I currently have are the same as the Hubbell 5362. Not sure if that’s true or not?

Thanks for your recommendation!

I just replaced my hospital grade outlets with “Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Ultimate Nano-Crystal Rhodium-Plated AC Duplex Receptacle”. They were a notable improvement.
