Electrical Power Outlet advice


I moved my system to the basement. It's listed under the systems as "mewsickbuff's unfinished basement system." There’s only one electrical outlet presently. I’ve made an appointment with an electrician to have 2 more outlets installed. I’ve requested each outlet be wired separately and not piggy backed. Since it’s in the basement the outlets will need to be GFCI. I’ve read a little about Furutech and Hubbell outlets. Are there others? I’d like to know what I need to ask and expect out of the electrician. Thanks.

You are always better off to connect ALL components to a SINGLE but adequately rated outlet to eliminate ground loops.  The star connection of this configuration minimizes the ground loop possibility, which may cause humming & buzzing in some situations.
