Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets

dbt

I went through about a 9 month comparison with high end receptacles, and in the end there are 4 I can recommend:

(1) Furutech GTX-D (G) - Gold plated and my favorite receptacle

(2) Oyaide R-1 - Gold plated, really close to the GTX-D (G).....am installing both in my new audio room

(3) Furutech GTX-D (R) - Rhodium plated, was too detailed for me; but I can see it being the favorite for anyone wanting to boost detail......takes a LONG time to break it

(4) ACME Audio Labs - Silver plated with CFC coating. Excellent performer for the money, better than Hubbell and hospital grade for me.....1/3 the price of the Furutech and Oyaide, great for budget option

I too did not know if receptacles would make a difference, but instead of just accepting that fact; I ordered 7 different receptacles and did a many month  comparison in my system and home. I kept the receptacles I liked and improved the sound, and gave the others away to friends.

To me this is the proper way to see for yourself, not blindly saying they make no difference.

By the way, a good friend loves the Cardas 4181 that I gave him so much, he wired his entire listening room with them; and had 2 dedicated lines installed.
