hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ?

What is the difference ? Is it really worth ten times the price to get hospital grade receptacles ? Why ?
Is one brand really superior to another? Is Pass &
Seymore a good brand ? Hubble better ?
I am setting up a closet to house my mid-fi gear and
will be running two dedicated 20A. lines to run the
2-channel audio and the home entertainment equipment. I
will have two double (2 duplex receptacles) on each 20A
circuit.
Thank you in advance.

Hmmm, no wonder why when I had my friend who is an electrician {but non audiophile} intalling lines in my audio room , I had a Wattgate , PS Audio, and a Tice outlet, he seemed {by the look on his face} most impressed with the Tice , which is orange.

Irvrobinson: Would you be so kind as to tell us what power cords and outlets you have had cryogenically treated and how they measured before and after the treatment? I'm simply asking because all of the cabling/outlets I've had treated measured differently with reduced resistance following treatment. Perhaps you could tell us what you've had cryoed, where, the type of treatment and how it measured before and after?

Darrylhifi, the answer is, your electrician is not mentally restricted by a degree in Physics. He is able to consider the fact that something that cannot be measured can be heard.

Irvrobinson, as for me being "duped" by comparisons, it must be a ten year hallucination and affecting tens of dozens of people who visit here. I am truly frustrated by your ignorance.

Albert....I myself have been transfixed by your presence at various audio shows. It's gotta be the cryo.

Albertporter...The notion that a degree in physics inhibits thought takes the cake.
