I purchased the shunyata outlet and was satisfied with the upgrade. I don’t know if it’s better than the Hubbel outlet but it did seem to have a positive impact on sound and it wasn’t insanely expensive.
Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp
Trying to decide between these two 20 amp outlets.
Shunyata SR-Z1 is cryogenically treated and built well, cost $100.
Hubble makes a hospital grade outlet HBL 8300 for about $30-$40.
Should I stick with Shunyata since I use their Power cords and cables? Anybody know anything about these outlets?

From specs: Line Contacts: Brass Triple-Wipe

@jea48 What exactly is the alternative and is it rated for residential use?? Also, nickel plated steel is extra protection against corrosion. | ||

Yes it meets, exceeds, NEC requirements.
Not good for feeding audio equipment.
