Audiophile AC Outlets


Not sure what topic to post this under, so here it goes.

Looking for recommendations on real experiences with adding audiophile AC outlets to your system?  What brands are recommended by your personal experiences?

There are many versions on the market with varying designs, materials, and pricing.  Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello pgaulke!  Any big hardware store will have tamper resistant (kids can't get shocked), very heavy duty 20 amp duplex outlets (Pass & Seymore - LeGrande; they are black nylon faces - hospital grade are yellow and not as good) and blue plastic, "new work," boxes (cut off the mounting tabs) that accommodate three duplex outlets. Put 'em together with a heavy duty three conductor power cord (Home depot orange extension cords used for power tools at construction sites - cut off the female end) and a heavy duty three prog plug (if you didn't use the construction site extension cord) and you will have at least 85% of the $500 and up fancy power outlet gadgets. The black outlets grip so tightly that you will have a hard time putting in the cords from your audio gear. You can get shielded power cord in bulk from Belden. DIY gives you lots of unspent $$ for music, gear, and concert tickets. Keep smiling.
