Hospital Grade Wall Outlets

I bought some TWEAKED Hospital grade outlets! I bought some hospital grade outlets from Sergui ( interlinkhouse.com) He had them reworked. He had them silver plated and then gold plated. His price was great! unfortuntely I haven't install them yet. I am reworking an entire house's electrical system for my system. All dedicated 40 amp outlets with a star ground. I will let you know when i get it all put together!!! Email me if you want some more info!! later!!!!! Steve

I'm in the process of running two dedicated circuits. One for the amp and one for the front end. Is it recommended to only ground the preamp and run the rest of the equiptment ungrounded and ground to the preamp. I am going to run an isolated ground from an 8 ft. ground rod, so could both circuits use this common ground without creating a ground loop? Thanks

Commercial grade duplex outlets have the same contacts and construction as do hospital grade and can be had for around $3.40. Try Home Depot.

Is anyone familiar with Pass and Seymour hospital grade outlets? According to a local electrical supply house they are cross referenced to the Hubbel and rated at 20 amp 125 v. Dievoyager the commecial grade are a great improvement over the standard but I suspect for the price spread the hospital grade must have better parts and construction?

I don't doubt for a minute that you're all hearing something different with these various outlets and plugs. After all, I just assembled a threaded rod and mdf equipment rack and it made an astounding difference in soundstage as well as tonal balance. However,except for whatever changes are caused by the materials of a power cord, wouldn't we all be better off just continuing the romex direct to the equipment? Or going to the logical extreme, taking the amplifier out to the transformer, or driving across town to the generating plant? I vote for a direct connection from the housewiring to the power cord, sans plug. Any takers? (Please be kind, I work with wood)
