High Quality Outlets Where to get them??


Hello everybody, we are building a house and its coming to the stage where were gonna put all the wiring in, I am already going to get a dedicated power line. But what about plugs. i need something better than the 59 cent ones. and i cant afford a PS audio plug for 50 bucks each. What about just hospital grade? Where can i find these online? Which ones to look for? Thanks

Do a search in the Cable Asylum archives as there have been TONS of threads on this subject. There is a specific Pass & Seymour that seems to be the hands down winner in terms of "budget" receptacles. The next step seems to be an Acme unit.

Keep in mind that whatever unit you go with, you want to use the screw down terminals and not the slip in compression terminals in the back of the outlet. The screws should have a larger contact area and offer a lower resistance / more secure connection for long term use. Sean
