recommendation needed-upgrade power receptacle- monster power htps7000 outlet 15amp or 20

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

$5.00? Where? Not at Grainger even at their cost. Their retail price for the outlet is $39.80.

For those of you that may be following this thread and are interested is purchasing a Hubbell 5362 outlet you need to do your homework before buying.

First the Hubbell pro line brand is a cheaper product line designed and manufactured to compete with other manufacturer’s cheaper lines.

You have to know what to look for, and what you want, when buying Hubbell outlets.

The better Extra Heavy Duty Industrial Series outlets.
Best are non nickel plated contacts with a non plated brass supporting back strap.
Some have nickel plated contacts with a nickel plated brass supporting back strap for corrosion resistance. Some now have galvanized steel back straps, such as the HBL8200H and 8300H hospital grade outlets. (Neither nickel plating or galvanized steel back strap are good for audio)
Some use the deeper body to support the electrical contacts and others use the slim Compact body.

Example of the deep body Extra Heavy Duty Industrial Series IG5362 outlet.

What can you expect to hear from your audio system using the outlets? From my personal listening experience the compact body is a neutral natural sounding outlet. The deeper body outlet leans to the warm side.
