In your price range I would try one of the Pangea's from Audio Advisor. I'm very happy with their XL model. It clamps like a vice grips & sounds great.
recommendation needed-upgrade power receptacle- monster power htps7000 outlet 15amp or 20
Hello,
I need recommendations for a new power outlet. Looking to spend $70 or less.
(I studied electro-mechanical engineering so you're not going to convince me I
need a $500 outlet)
I am replacing an outlet on my Monster Power HTPS7000 power center.
I am replacing a 15amp 125V outlet on the high current bank. One center screw,
rounded outlets.
Looking at Hubbell and PSAudio and LEVITON outlets. 15 amp or 20 amp, hospital
grade simply because my power cords are heavy!!
I see no reason why a hospital grade 20amp would be a problem even though the
previous was only 15amp.
Thoughts...?
Also, I am open to other brands as well, it must shape like the one pictured.

Audiogon member AlbertPorter sells a very nice outlet called the Porter Port here on Audiogon.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis99a26-porter-port-porter-port-outlets-cryo-various-colors-ac-di... |
+1 for the Porter Port. @ stevethe4th Looking at your picture showing the duplex cutout space for the receptacle you are replacing I see the 7000 metal chassis is earth grounded and a grounding pigtail is bonded to the chassis for connection to the equipment ground terminal screw on the duplex receptacle. This will make/configure the Porter Port IG (Hubbell HBL5362 IG ,Isolated Ground) as regular grounding type duplex receptacle, which is what you want for the wiring design of the 7000. |
I would also recommend the Porter Ports or these from Voo-Doo Audio. http://voodoocable.net/product/voodoo-ubbell-audio-grade-ac-outlet/ Chuck |
CZBBCL-- Am I correct in saying that is the standard HUBBELL outlet, and voo-doo just cryo treats it correct? I could care less about the wall plate. I might actually go with that If it's just cryo-treated, that way I can compare it to the same outlet NON-cryo-treated. My local grainger sells those non-treated. Same with the Porter Ports, I actually wrote him to see if it would work, and the porter port will, but same thing there-- standard $5.00 outlet, just cryo-treated. Pangea-- regular or premier, looks like there is a $100 model and a $50 model. Thanks for all the suggestions |
