Wall outlet options..
« on: 19 May 2004, 12:13 am »
Hi, I'm trying to decide on a new wall outlet for a new dedicated line.
I have it narrowed down to these choices all 20 amp variety-

Furutech FP-2G
FIM Model 880
Acme cryo'd  
Hubbell 5362 cryo'd

Does anyone have an opinion on any of the above or have compared one to the other?  Right now I'm leaning towards the Acme due to it's more reasonable price and good rep. but I may be inclined to spend a little more if one may perform better.
Thanks.

Jason,

All I can add to your decision is that I heard a great deal of improvement with $10.00 I8300 outlets from Lowe's, and subsequently, little further improvement going to the PS Audio outlets ($49.95 each).

So, in my case, going hospital grade was a great deal, going the next step to audiophile quality hospital grade was dubious.

Not sure if this helps or confuses further, but that was my situation.  The PS Audio is still my outlet and I moved the Eagle to my video system.

Also, I'll let JohnR decide (moderator here), but I think this less technical, more general in scope and may be better posted in Audio Central.

Good luck   :)

If you are willing to spend on the FIM, find you a Wattgate dealer that will discount a 381.  I have shot them out head-to-head along with a hospital grade Hubbell.  There really is no comparison, and it's worth every penny.  You can usually find them on AGon. . .
