hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ?

Nrchy, you are right, of course, but Quant...does not want to be confronted by the facts. His argument is curious though as he argues that most things don't matter but that balanced does.

I tried plugging a physics book into a hospital-grade receptacle, but it made every album I played sound like "Irvrobinson's Greatest Hits."

Albertporter...When the dog barks the guy hears something else, because he wants to. He is happy. So am I with my dog who doesn't need human speach to communicate.

Let's move on :-)

HUBBELL model 8300IH is the non-plated, brass alloy, 20-amp Hubbell hospital grade receptacle, for those who may still care.

Has anyone ever actually listened to a high end system in a hospital ? Those long marble halls must have great acoustics.

Your right about the marble halls Darryl.

Unknown to many folks, the song made famous by Elvis Presley "Hound Dog" was recorded at Graceland Nursing Center in Memphis while doing a benefit gig for the old folks.

The halls provided the desired amount of echo and is evidence of the first crying and talking dog .

You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time.
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time.
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.

Elvis may have passed on, but the truth about talking dogs and excellence of aftermarket power cords lives on (unless you unplug them and set a Physics book on top of them).
