Power conditioner vs use of a audio grade outlet?

Screw Pangea.  Here’s a really nice Maestro outlet that has faced many challengers.  For $89 IMHO it’s a no brainer…

IMO a high cost outlet does nothing for better sound, it is the placebo effect. Use a hospital grade 20 amp rated outlet about $10. The power conditioner does have a slight but noticeable effect on noisy lines. Some power conditioners work, others not so much. I used one in NYC, but not needed where I live now. You will have to research power conditioners to find a good unit.

Get Furtech outlet for a BIG sound improvement ASAP.

@erik_squires  , the pictured outlet is a 15A outlet?  Which would require a 15A breaker?

@immatthewj - In the US, all 120V/15A duplex outlets are safe and listed for 20 A breakers. :)

It’s an oddity of the NEC that, because you often have 3-4 outlets on 1 circuit they allow for 20A circuits assuming you’ll connect multiple medium draw (i.e. < 15A) devices there. Do a little digging on the web for more explanations.

However, if you have a single device which requires the 20A, T shaped plug, this is the wrong outlet.

As a side note, for this reason some manufacturers use exactly the same metal behind the face plate for their 15A and 20A outlets , including the T shaped hot. You can’t see it without disassembling the unit though. See if you can find some outlet comparisons on Youtube where they take them apart.
