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.
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!

@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 had my house rewired and installed 2 20-amp outlets for my stereo wall. I used Monosaudio Audiophile Duplex Receptacle 20 Amp 125V Pure Copper Audio Wall Outlets bought on Amazon. These were wired with all 3 wires for each duplex outlet pulled back to the panel (no common ground). They’re reasonably priced and I got an almost noise free connection and my sound definitely improved ( and everything I have is connected to a Furman conditioner). To warn everyone in the US, under the NEC code all new electrical outlets must be tamper resistant. You will be hit with this if you need an inspection for the work. Unfortunately I haven’t found an audiophile 20-amp outlets that’s tamper resistant if they’re round, only white square (decora). |
