@jea48 That's the word I was looking for. "Isolated Ground". Thank you! Can any/all of the recommendations above be wired as isolated ground? I think this is the case if one uses a plastic box for the outlets, or uses plastic washers and screws to attach to a metal box. Agreed???
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)

@ghdprentice Does this have lugs on both sides, so I can connect through it to a second duplex? I was thinking I'd get a Furutech for my amps and a lesser unit for the subs. AND THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED! |
@howardlee the ground on top makes more sense to me, because if something was to fall such as a paper clip onto a plug that isn’t plugged in all the way it could definitely cause a spark if it came in contact with the hot and neutral. |
