High Quality Outlets Where to get them??


Hello everybody, we are building a house and its coming to the stage where were gonna put all the wiring in, I am already going to get a dedicated power line. But what about plugs. i need something better than the 59 cent ones. and i cant afford a PS audio plug for 50 bucks each. What about just hospital grade? Where can i find these online? Which ones to look for? Thanks

Check out Acme Audio. I have his outlet and have been very happy. You can run a search at audioasylum under tweaks to read more.
If you look in your local Yellow Pages under Electrical Suppliers, you can make a few phone calls and find who locally stocks Hubbell. I bought mine here in Dallas at a commercial supply house for $15.50 ea. I simply called, told them I need a whole box (10 pieces) and ask what was the best price.

When I arrived to pick them up they never ask if I was an electrician or any other questions, just how did I wish to pay. It's worth a try, your local electricians have to have a place to pick up supplies as they work, they cant all be ordering and waiting while the job sits unfinished.
I will second Maxgain's suggestion on the Arrow Hart. I would suggest the AH 8200 unless you need 20 amp outlets. In my experience, at around $8 U.S., they are a better performer than the Hubbell 8300 I used (although the Hubbell is also pretty decent)which costs 2-2.5x more, and much better than the P&S 5262 for around the same price or a little less. Definitely the king of the budget receptacles. You'll need to shop around at electrical supply or wholesalers-just check the yellow pages.
