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.

Furutech FPX cu you can't go wrong with these.. $63.00 @ VH Audio.com

I have many of the highly regarded and reviewed outlets.. but ended up with these and the most Musical/Natural of the bunch...

God Luck, the outlet is what feeds everything else in your rig and to me is one of the most important things to consider.

@pcolvin Yup, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I have to have outlets installed when the inspector comes but I can change them out after he's gone.

I have two dedicated lines terminated with two duplex outlets each. There’s a Furutech gtx-d ncf(r) and a cheap Home Depot outlet on each line. I’m thinking to upgrade the HD ones to Shunyata just to compare with Furutech.
And yes the Furutech outlets are very good. They do impart certain flavor to the sound that you need to hear to determine if you like it or not. My system sounds good with these outlets and the difference is audible when I switch to HD cheap duplex.

I have Maestro outlets for all my components.....dead quiet...never a problem
