In Reply to: So why on earth do the sellers/manufacturers of audio grade outlets make 20A outlets? posted by jea48 on November 25, 2016 at 16:44:11:
Because the code reads that after a 15 amp breaker the wire needs to be 14awg ROMEX or THHN/THHW with a 15 amp receptacle. You can certainly upgrade your wire and/or receptacles if you feel the need.
When I did the electric in my house I used all 12awg ROMEX throughout. Most wall outlets and all the lighting circuits were put on 15 amp breakers.
