I replaced my circuit box and then ran 12 gauge to the HiFi. Interesting, every box I looked at used aluminum for the breakers and hence, aluminum to copper wire. So I don’t understand all the debate over which outlet is used. From the source, we probably all have a problem with connecting aluminum to copper. No outlet, no matter how sophisticated in materials science, will alleviate this problem. I just needed a very good outlet to make a very tight connection and then let the DC filter and line conditioner cleanup the mess. So far, very good .
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 encourage use of hospital-grade outlets - they are designed and are tested to quite rigorous specification: https://protectiondevicesandreceptacles.leviton.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402326499483-What-is-a-hospital-grade-receptacle There may be plenty of good outlets/plugs that are not certified as hospital grade, of course, but when you see the "green dot" on the outlet you know for certain that it met some minimum technical specification, otherwise they wouldn't be admissible in life-critical locations. |
