WATTGATE audio grade receptacle


I'd like to run a stranded copper 8 gauge dedicated power line in order to better power my Plinius SA-250 Mk 4 power amp. Does anyone know if this or any other wall receptacle can accomodate such a heavy gauge wire? And in your opinion is 8 gauge wire vs. 10 or 12 gauge overkill? I would appreciate any thoughts on this issue.

Or you can use the larger mount boxes, and pig-tail down to the size that will fit in your receptacle. This is what my contractor did for me, reducing my 6 gauge to 10 gauge, which should fit in any higher quality receptacle (FIM in my case). Oh, and it does meet NEC code. This is done everyday, in every home that has 3 way light switches.

Hope this helps!
