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.

These are a lot of different paths to take. It seems there’s a higher consensus for the GFCI circuit breaker, eliminating the need for multiple individual GFCI outlets. I need at least 3 new outlets. One for Primare power amp, and 2 for Synergistic research FEQx4 which needs 2 plugs. @cakyol when you say "connect ALL components to a SINGLE but adequately rated outlet" do you mean something like this?

If you run .ore than one circuit make sure the wire in the wall is the same length and the breakers are on the same leg of the power coming in. Hubbell hospital grade plugs are better than regular plugs and furutech plugs are far better than the Hubbell plugs the gold or the rhodium receptacle s sound different. The rhodium is more transparent and the gold Ihas more musicality. You will not regret the top of the line plugs. |
