@jumia If you want to spend less than $100 per outlet I recommend you purchase porterports from member albertporter assuming he is still selling them.
Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp
Trying to decide between these two 20 amp outlets.
Shunyata SR-Z1 is cryogenically treated and built well, cost $100.
Hubble makes a hospital grade outlet HBL 8300 for about $30-$40.
Should I stick with Shunyata since I use their Power cords and cables? Anybody know anything about these outlets?

My routine warning that most audio outlets don't meet NEC guidelines for installation in the home. These outlets should be tamper resistant (TR). Hospital grade TR outlets are however easy to find.
I can also personally recommend these hospital grade plugs. Even with "merely" commercial grade outlets they offer an iron grip.

From specs: Line Contacts: Brass Triple-Wipe

@jea48 What exactly is the alternative and is it rated for residential use?? Also, nickel plated steel is extra protection against corrosion. |
