High Quality Outlets Where to get them??

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.

Galen Carol Audio sells the FIM outlet for about $60

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.

You can get either the Pass & Seymour or Acme outlets from diycable.com. The standard P&S is around 9$, the Acme outlets start at 25$ for the standard silver plated P&S 15 amp outlet. I replaced some Bryant (a division of Hubbell) hospital grade outlets with the 20 amp Acme outlets and I'm quite pleased with the improvements they made in my system. If you get the Acme outlets they will take a long time to run in, and the sound will vary (for better or worse) from one day to the next until they finely settle in.
