Electrical gurus please help....


I have a B&K AVR 307 and Revel speakers, Velodyne HGS15 sub, Sony 9000ES, and a Pioneer Elite cd recorder. I have recently added two dedicated lines for my system. One is for the tv, and the other for my equipment. My question is twofold.......First should I just use a high grade outlets like a hospital grade outlet? Or are industrial grade outlets just fine? Secondly.....Is my equipment at the level where I would want something like a Richard Gray or PSAudio power strip? If not what would you recommend?

Thank you for your input!!!

Definitely change your outlets to an upgrade model: at least hospital grade for better contact area & reduced noise contributions due to micro-arcing. F.I.M. First Impression Music just released a nifty new $65 outlet (available from Galen Carol Audio among others) that is getting a good reception from those who were already using upgrade outlets. Then there's the Wattagate 381: a bit more pricey but worth it at my house.
Regarding line conditioning: definitely get something but ensure you use a model that won't constrain dynamics. Shunyata, Chang Lightspeed, or the PSAudio strip are all good examples. Not the PSAudio power plant though, unless you get the large heavy expensve & inefficient P600.
