Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets

OP,

Consider just installing direct lines with hospital grade outlets at first. You’ll get the boost in sound quality. Then a few years down the line when everything is optimal, swap out one of the hospitals for a Furutech. You will be able to make a judgement whether to upgrade the rest. You’ll have financially recovered from earlier big purchases. If spend a $1K on outlets you will never hear the difference… it’ll just come with the improvement in direct lines.

This is something simple to do yourself. Makes it an easy thing to do later.

I've used a wide variety of outlets over the years. There is no single outlet that's best, these are subtle tuning devices that are best decided on once you've tuned system. Hubbel's mentioned on warm side, Rhodium far more neutral. I use a combo of PorterPorts and Oyaide R1's. As previously mentioned rhodium takes long, long time to burn in, but maintains consistent performance without degradation over time.

Any thoughts on which components are affected the most by outlets? If you only had one fancy outlet and two dedicated lines, would you use it for the front end components or the power amp?

I will have (4) dedicated lines running 10 gauge romex and this could be an expensive adventure,

Maybe this will help see here. FWIW, I use four Hubbell receptacle see here.

@ghdprentice That’s a great idea and the conclusion I have come to after careful thought.  I think I’m going to go with the PS Audio Power Port outlets for now as I  already have two of them and my system sounds great.  The 10 gauge Romex should be an upgrade to begin with.

@ditusa Thanks for your feedback and the links!
