Replacing generic RECEPTACLES


How important is it to replace your generic receptacles with audio grade receptacles . I already replaced my stock power cords to high end Shunyatas. Would it still be necessary to still change my generic receptacles to audio grade?

Also when my electrician installed my dedicated 20 a for my amp and preamp he also installed  (2) double receptacles outlets side by side on the one dedicated line. Would this still be considered a dedicated line for my amp and preamp? Or do each component have to be on their own dedicated line?
secretguy.........Any excuse to waste money?????? I dont understand your comment....Please explain...
You can use a 20a receptacle on a 15a line. You just can’t use a 20a powercord plug on a 15a line / 20a receptacle, otherwise you will have an ISSUE! Only use 15a powercords.
have a dedicated line for my Krell FPB 600 amp and my ARC Ref 6 preamp which i will be adding the Furutech GTX-d r. But not for my Rega Isis cdp. Would you also recommend a dedicated line for the cdp too?

It would make sense to add a second 20 amp dedicated line. You can use your CDP, and in the future add another digital device such as a dac or streamer. It’s best to isolate analogue from digital.

Or you can keep the 15A line as long as it is properly grounded at the receptacle and at the circuit panel.



The 2 double receptacles on your 20 amp line equals one 20A dedicated line.
It's fine to run an amp plus preamp on the same line; the 2 components will draw less than 20 amps. It would not be a good idea to run monoblocks on the same AC line due to the high current draw.
