Pass & Seymour is good. My favorite is Hubbell. Back several years ago I used to have a PA rig that I used with local musical groups. The portable power distro system I built from Hubbell duplex outlets purchased at a hamfest mounted in drawn steel "four square" surface mount outlet boxes. The most important features of these outlets were:
1) Well made contacts that gripped the blades of the plugs quite firmly so that the connections were electrically secure. 2) Near indestructable nylon face. This, combined with the drawn construction of the boxes in which I mounted them, made the resulting assembly very rugged. I used to impress people by grabbing one of these portable outlet boxes by its cord and slamming it rather vigorously on the outlet face against the concrete. There was never any visable damage to either the box or the outlet face. If you want outlets that will provide reliable service practically forever, even under rough usage, my recomendation is Hubbell nylon-face duplex outlets. http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=7087 -- Timothy Stockman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy Stockman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30286 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
