Tamper Resistant Duplex Outlets


Hello All,

Are there any manufacturers whose audiophile grade outlets are tamper resistant? I can't seem to locate any.

This is a frustrating situation.  The outlet where my audio equipment is plugged in stopped working, and I bought a Pangea Audio "NEMA 5-20 Premier AC Outlet" in anticipation of an electrician arriving tomorrow.

 

But now i've learned that tamper resistant is a code requirement in Oregon (and the Pangea outlet is lacking the "TR" designation for tamper resistant), and my electrician won't install it for me, so I'm going to return this outlet to Amazon, unused.

 

(I realize I could learn some basics of installing an outlet and do it myself, but I'd rather have something like this done "right" by a trusted professional than risk making a rookie mistake where I'll be plugging in my treasured audio gear.)

If anyone has suggestions for a worthwhile upgrade/premium tamper resistant outlet, that I could later have an electrician swap in the future, I'm curious if it's not too expensive.  ($25 for this Pangea seemed reasonable ... not sure >$50 would be worthwhile.)
