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.

Furutech, Leviton, Hubbell outlets...how would you all rate each as far as 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and why? Definitely going with hospital grade outlets. Leaning towards a 20 amp double pole GFCI circuit breaker in the panel box.

@theaudioamp you’re a lucky person to have heard so many other people’s systems. Can you estimate how many you’ve heard that falsely claim high resolution? As far as I’ve read everyone has made excellent recommendations for power outlets. Do you have any?

 

 

Furutech, Leviton Hospital, Hubbel hospital: 1:1:1

 

About 200+ systems over the years. 90% poor probably more.

+1 @retiredfarmer / IRT your comment about using high quality Furutech connectors as well as your assessment on gold & rhodium sound signatures. 

Really  funny when one person  goes by two different  names on here. Makes them just as phoney as what they write. Lol enjoy you dollar forty nine system.  

Breaker’s normally will trip at about 80% of the stated value

Breakers run for several of seconds at several multiples of the rated value. Trip at rated current is likely a defective breaker. 

How long depends on the Trip Curve. See Understanding Trip Curves - c3controls
