Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets

I had 2 20 amp circuits put in 15 years ago. Best investment I ever made. The gift that keeps on giving!

@immatthewj I am not recommending using an IG (Isolated Ground) outlet to feed audio equipment in a dwelling unit, house. My recommendation for the old stock Hubbell IG5362 120V 20A slender/compact style duplex outlet for the reasons given in my post on 08-29-2024 at 12:31pm .

@jea48 , I apologize for asking what I guess is going to be some stupid questions about what is I guess some basic stuff.

But you are saying not to use an IG outlet, and isn't an IG outlet one that has three "holes" (hot/black, neutral/white, equipment ground/uninsulated)?  And I did click on the link you provided for those Hubbells on ebay and that appears to be what those Hubbell outlets are?  

Sorry, I know that this is pretty basic stuff, but I guess I am misunderstanding something about it.

What is an IG outlet? The safety equipment ground contact on the outlet is insulated, isolated, from the metal supporting back strap and the center 6/32 threaded metal hub of the outlet used to hold on the outlet wall cover plate.

@jea48 Oops. Sorry again. I just reread your post for the 4th or 5th time and I went and looked at a duplex outlet I had bought a while back ago at Lowes (Eaton) and the equipment ground (third "hole"/uninsulated wire) IS in fact connected to the backstrap. So this Eaton that I bought a while back ago at Lowes is NOT an IG, correct?

I'm currently using Audio Envy's OKTA PRO Gold receptical.  In addition my Naim dealer, AV Options carries a deep cryo Hubble that performs well and both outlets bested  the PS Audio and Pangea in my system.  Good luck with your upgrade.
