Hi Peter, I use a pair of PS Audio PowerPort Classics. They have a fantastic grip on heavy power cords. I haven't worried about connections since I installed them in 2007. It looks like PS Audio stopped making them, but I see them for sale on HiFi Heaven website. The price is reasonable at $50 each. The Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) are quite pricey at $281 each. I hopes this helps.
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)

I hope not... That’s AC armored cable. Commonly called BX cable. Hopefully yours in MC, (Metal Clad) Cable https://www.southwire.com/wire-cable/metal-clad-cable/armorlite-type-mc-isolated-ground/p/MC40

Edit: This armored cable is apparently MC cable. Manufacture calls it Metal Clad. Must be new. I have never seen MC cable with a bare aluminum ground wire. Junk for feeding audio equipment, imo. I doubt very much that’s what you have. No way that could be considered as an IG conductor. This is AC armored cable. A different animal than MC cable.

@mingles Said:
@mingles , sorry to say the one on HiFi Heaven website is not the same outlet as the PS Audio PowerPort Classics. The ones you installed in 2007 were made by Hubbell. The real deal... I have no idea who makes the ones shown in the HiFi Heaven Website. Not Hubbell though, imo. . |
