High Current Outlet for Amps?

I had a 30 amp line put in for my system and use a PS Audio Premier Power Port for the receptacle.

As Dave said above, the cost difference between the 20 and 30 amp circuit is minimal.

Way to go for it!!

The 20 amp receptacle is the same as the 30 amp one!  No difference at all.  You are just running 10 gauge wire connected to a 30 amp breaker in the service versus a 12 gauge wire connected to a 20 amp breaker.

All of my system components are connected to a PS Audio Premier Power Plant regenerator except my power amp which is conditioned by a PS Audio Duet and Humbuster III.  Works great for me. YMMV.

Agree with steakster about putting in more than one line, especially if everything is going to be plugged directly into the wall receptacle.

A 20A device on a 30A breaker doesn't meet my local codes and probably isn't consistent with NEC, either.

Sorry,  but I don't understand.  What is a 20A device?  All I'm trying to convey is that the outlet for a 20A or 30A device is the same.  The difference is in the gauge of the wire running off your electric service and amperage rating of the circuit breaker in your house's electrical service box.

Some audiophiles believe that the higher amperage rated circuit ensures adequate power to your system under even the most demanding of circumstances.  It is somewhat analogous to the thinking involved in having a 7 gauge power cord to a powerful amp rather than a 12 gauge one.

Commercial and Industrial 30 Amp Flush Mount Dryer Power Receptacle with 3-Wire Non-Grounding,

Dude...read what the quote above says...its a DRYER power receptacle.  All you do is hook up 10 gauge wire to a 30 amp breaker to a regular power outlet and you are good to go.

@cleeds I guess the electrician who willingly installed that line in that outlet was violating code?  The building inspector too?  Hmmm.
