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.

I second Tvad. Quality power cords on amps are low-priority in my experience--that is, if the amp already has something that's not the 18-gauge 3-dollar molded kind. Players, then preamps benefit most, and in that order.

If you have separates, the DAC would usually come before the transport in the lineup. However when I had my old Cambridge Discmagic / Isomagic pair, the transport's cord turned out to make more difference than the DAC's.
Hdm...I don't think that it is valid to compare a 115 vac wiring change with the Underwood mod to the Denon player. The mod involves replacement of a lot of active circuitry, and it is entirely to be expected (on a purely scientific basis) that the sound characteristics will change, for the better we hope.

When I tested the cryo'd outlet I put on my objective experimenter's hat. Believe me it would have been much more interesting if the test results had come out the other way. If anything, I was biased towards hearing an effect.
Is this the same Irvrobinson who said, "Don't waste too much money on powercord-related stuff. Save your money for better speakers, acoustical treatments, amps, and source components (probably in that order). Those are the things that make a difference. Use your head and reason, don't just read advertising and bogus magazine reviews. How could an outlet provide such a superior connection that water boiled 20% faster? That's poppycock. Put on your thinking cap."
