The electrician installed the new panel and grounds today. He comes back Monday night to run dedicated lines for the audio and video gear. I have in my possesion several of both outlets: Pass & Seymour 5352-WCC 20A and 5262-I 15A. Which ones are best with the audio & video gear? The others I'll use around the house as needed.This is a dupe of the GA post.

If you are a detail freak and like a really up front, fairly aggressive presentation, use the P&S 5262; if not, throw them away and buy a cryoed Hubbell 5262 or 5362.

Do you know a good source(online or mail-order) to buy the cryo'd Hubbells?

I have been happy with the Hubbells I purchased from Alan Kafton at:http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com/worldpower.htm
As well as an extended cryo treatment, these receptacles are also conditioned on a cable cooker to greatly reduce break in time.
Alternatively, you can do a search on Audiogon, there seem to be a number of sellers of cryoed Hubbells now. I would stick to the 5262 or 5362 as the contacts are not plated and give a better performance than the nickel plated hospital grades.

......for the good thoughts, Blake. It would be good to alert people to the fact that most of these new vendors are selling lesser Hubbell models. They are not the heavy-duty, spec-grade models you purchased that have the high-copper content, high-conductivity alloy. Usually they are displayed as simply "Hubbell 5362's" or "Hubbell 8300's" without the proper prefix and model designation. Either these sellers are ignorant of the various models, or they are intentionally being coy, presuming that the buying public doesn't know the difference. 5362's and 8300's are NOT made the same. Those numbers are the industry standards for the *type* of outlet only, and there are usage variations within the type, as well as qualitative differences.
