I'm having a few dedicated lines run into my listening room and need to make some decisions on ac receptacles. One configuration I'm considering is running two lines to a single receptacle, and I'll want to weigh that possibility against the relative sonic benefits of the outlets themselves. Of course, if I can reduce the number of outlets, the total cost goes down and there's less visual intrusion on the room itself.Which receptacles can handle two separate lines by removing a jumper? FIM, Oyaide, Furutech are at the top of my list -- anyone know whether any of these fit the bill? I've looked at specs online but don't see exact mention of this feature in the descriptions I've found.
Many thanks for any assistance.
