Great for bringing up that point. Mine came from Japan. But this highlights a huge problem with new and used accessories these days.
You must be very careful when purchasing today.
Good outlet for amplifiers
I have a circuit in my listening room for my amplifiers and it uses a dedicated ground. Right now I have two duplex outlets connected - and I use the primary outlet (first on the run) for the amps (reserve secondary for subwoofers if needed). I would like to install better quality outlets for this - two duplex, set up for a dedicated ground. I could see spending $100-$200 per duplex, if that gets me something decent. I want it to grip the plugs well. Recommendations?
PS - I'm running two VAC Phi-200 amplifiers (200w tube amps, KT88)

I used hospital grade outlets when I first installed my direct lines. Then as an experiment to see if it made a difference I swapped one for a Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) Ultimate Nano-Crystal Rhodium-Plated AC Duplex Receptacle. Once I heard the difference, I immediately ordered another one for my other direct line. I found them to be a very worthwhile investment.
I got them from Amazon ($199): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017LTCI5M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
