Have any of you guys installed outlets with the ground at the top (upside down) instead of the standard way? Seems this would aid in keeping the plug in.
Good outlet for amplifiers
I have a circuit in my listening room for my amplifiers and it uses a dedicated ground. Right now I have two duplex outlets connected - and I use the primary outlet (first on the run) for the amps (reserve secondary for subwoofers if needed). I would like to install better quality outlets for this - two duplex, set up for a dedicated ground. I could see spending $100-$200 per duplex, if that gets me something decent. I want it to grip the plugs well. Recommendations?
PS - I'm running two VAC Phi-200 amplifiers (200w tube amps, KT88)

@erik_squires Are you saying that the issue is the plug rather than the receptacle? I've got good power cords (e.g. Shunyata Alpha) and they are not tightly gripped. Thanks. |
I used hospital grade outlets when I first installed my direct lines. Then as an experiment to see if it made a difference I swapped one for a Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Ultimate Nano-Crystal Rhodium-Plated AC Duplex Receptacle. Once I heard the difference, I immediately ordered another one for my other direct line. I found them to be a very worthwhile investment.
I got them from Amazon ($199): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017LTCI5M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
