Dedicated Circuit - Quad Receptacle Question



Afternoon All,

I'm considering having a dedicated circuit installed to hopefully get some sonic improvements (I would rather do this than buy new interconnects!).

If I do this, wouldn't it make more sense to have a quad
receptacle installed (4 outlets) instead of 2?

Or would I possibly lose quality by doing this?

I know the Hubbell 8300-HI is commonly used, but can someone suggested a quad receptacle of hospital grade quality?

Any help is most appreciated!

Yep, best to have two dedicated lines, one for analog and one for digital, as long as you (and your electrician) follow Jea48's recommendation to place both on the same phase of the electrical service. Also, have the electrician move the circuit breakers in your breaker box around such that noisy appliances (AC, refrigerator, microwave, etc) are on the phase opposite the audio lines.

Also, don't gloss over the importance of receptacles. They make a big difference in the sound of your equipment and will influence your selection of power cords. My favorite receptacles are the Porter Port ($36 on Agon) and the Synergistic Research TeslaPlex ($95 from any SR dealer).
