Good outlet for amplifiers

Have any of you guys installed outlets with the ground at the top (upside down) instead of the standard way? Seems this would aid in keeping the plug in.

And of course make sure you're getting the correct amperage outlet.

Anyone have all copper receptacles?

@vthokie83 ,

Thank you! Yes, thinking about it copper is too soft by itself. Perhaps the use of rhodium is because it’s a very hard metal. But there are so many more metals with superior conductivity. Maybe it’s applied in such a thin coat it’s conductivity isn’t so much an issue.

Hi, @mclinnguy ,

Yes, I know. Was wondering if anyone had them, and thoughts. Rhodium I don’t understand, it’s a lousy conductor. All copper or better yet silver coating seems the way to go. My thought on the all copper is your attaching bare copper wires to it anyway some decades old and they I imagine never get cleaned and polished. Personally I’d go with the silver. Can someone explain to me why rhodium is even in the equation?

That's what I plan on doing, sure can't hurt (unless you forget to shut off the breaker!)
