what is the best quality (sounding) out let you can get at home depot or lowes? it would help a lot if you know the part number.

thanks

At Loewes the Eagle/Cooper IG8300RN is the best outlet that they've got. Should be about $9.83 each. It's a 20A Hospital Grade Isolated Ground outlet.

Oh, and most Home Depots (around here at least) don't carry an outlet as good as the one I referenced Loewes carrying. Some people have reported Home Depot carrying a Hubble IG8300 (which would be the equivalent outlet), but I've not seen that outlet in any store in my area.

Some, maybe a lot, of the Ace stores carry a hospital grade unit, last time I checked. Each stores is individually pwned, so none of them are obligated to carry it if demand isn't there fo them. But, it's available in their warehouses ( or was).

I think the vendor them was Leviton (sp?)

The Cooper/Eagle at Lowe's ain't shabby...it handily bettered to stock cheapie that came with the house here. I didn't notice, nor did I take time to really listen for any, differences in the Eagle and the (eventually) PS Audio outlet bought for $50.00.
