Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets

Greetings,

I’d like to get some recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets.

I currently have two PS Audio outlets in my current room, but my system will be relocated to its permanent location when I finish my dedicated listening room in a few months.  I’m using 10 gauge Romex for the dedicated 20 amp outlets.

I have a few electrical outlets on my list of interest;

- Audioquest NRG Edison Duplex

- Pangea Audio Premier XL

- The Maestro Outlet (by Cruze First Audio) - *Great reviews on website and forums

- Hubbell outlet (not sure of any particular model number?)

Please share your impressions and any comparison experiences would be great.

Thanks in advance!

I re-read that and it doesn’t now, while fully caffeinated, make that much sense to me either.  Thanks for catching it. Not sure I can even recreate what I was trying to say at the time.

@jea48 no I ordered the Hubble 5362. No replying needed.

(FYI you will not wire the IG, Isolated Ground, outlet as an IG outlet to your existing branch circuit wiring. I assume your branch circuit wiring is three wire. Hot, neutral, and EGC). EGC, Equipment Grounding Conductor.

@jea48 , sorry that due to my limited understanding  I have to ask, but what do you mean by this?  If I bought these outlets (either the Levitons or Hubbles) . wouldn't I simply replace the existing outlets that I bought from Lowes by connecting the existing black, white, and equipment ground wires to the Hubble or Leviton outlets that I bought?  Am I misunderstanding this?
