Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets


Greetings,

I’d like to get some recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets.

I currently have two PS Audio outlets in my current room, but my system will be relocated to its permanent location when I finish my dedicated listening room in a few months.  I’m using 10 gauge Romex for the dedicated 20 amp outlets.

I have a few electrical outlets on my list of interest;

- Audioquest NRG Edison Duplex

- Pangea Audio Premier XL

- The Maestro Outlet (by Cruze First Audio) - *Great reviews on website and forums

- Hubbell outlet (not sure of any particular model number?)

Please share your impressions and any comparison experiences would be great.

Thanks in advance!

A person could have a 2nd service, meter and panel installed that would serve their audio equipment only. No appliance and / or motor noise since wirings would be entirely separate.

@immatthewj Here is a very comprehensive article on IG receptacles. Fig 6 shows the basics at a glance.

Not very onerous to implement if installing a new circuit, but what are the benefits in terms of noise suppression over a 12/2 Romex homerun? This is a straight question, I don't actually know the answer.
