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!

Shunyata’s outlet is a Hubbell 5362.

It’s still interesting that Galen Carol would recommend the Hubbell outlet if he is selling his version of it. Just a rhetorical statement.

Galvanized steel supporting back strap... Not good for feeding audio equipment. Can add grain and brightness to the sound depending on the equipment used. YMMV

The Maestro has more positive reviews than negative, so they must have put some magic into the outlet! If the $3 Lowes outlets are the same as the Maestro and they sound like The Maestro, then I’m buying them for the entire house!😆

I’m good for now as I plan to let the system settle in the new room upon completion, then I’ll have a baseline to assess a new outlet. I bought several PS Audio outlets for now. My system is sounding top notch with the PS Audio outlets that I’ve had for several years, so anything better will be icing on the cake!

My Rep. at The Cable Company stated that the Furutech GTX-D (NCF) R was the best sounding outlet that he has owned and he liked the Audioquest NRG Edison outlet, but felt it was way too difficult to remove power cables from it due to the tight grip. Lastly, he said the Cardas outlet was really good and just below the Furutech. I’m hearing and reading all kinds of opinions on most of the same outlets mentioned in this forum, so I will narrow it down and select one when I’m ready to pull the trigger on an outlet.

Thanks so much guys!👍
