Electrical gurus please help....


I have a B&K AVR 307 and Revel speakers, Velodyne HGS15 sub, Sony 9000ES, and a Pioneer Elite cd recorder. I have recently added two dedicated lines for my system. One is for the tv, and the other for my equipment. My question is twofold.......First should I just use a high grade outlets like a hospital grade outlet? Or are industrial grade outlets just fine? Secondly.....Is my equipment at the level where I would want something like a Richard Gray or PSAudio power strip? If not what would you recommend?

Thank you for your input!!!

Hey Jdcmac... and industrial grade outlet should be fine, just be sure that the solid copper wires are screwed into the sides of the outlet instead of simply pushing them in.

Your system would definitely benefit from an AC power filter. The two you mentioned have been discussed in this forum. I would also recommend the Tara Power Screen. Their six outlet model has a digital barrier and this worked very well with my 9000ES. I also found no loss of dynamics, even when plugging my amp into its regular outlets. For my HDTV, I used their 2 outlet model. I have since upgraded to their AD/10B and now run my entire A/V system through it.

You have a great system, cleaning up your AC will take it to the next level. Good luck!
