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!

I would suggest, that you have a qualified electrician check for voltage on the neutral, and a clean ground. If your power supply is clean, then buy whatever you want. I have used isolated ground outlets in the past, but I think most "noise" and distortion comes from a dirty neutral leg. Make sure that's not an issue, and of course, a good ground. An electrician can (should) check your ground with a "Megger" or similar ground test equipment. Good luck

I re-read that and it doesn’t now, while fully caffeinated, make that much sense to me either.  Thanks for catching it. Not sure I can even recreate what I was trying to say at the time.
