Hold one of these outlets in your hand. They're flimsy. I designed the new Pangea Audio outlets from the ground up [pun intended!] to be superior in every way to standard outlets to make sure you get the best performance possible from your sensitive electronics.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAn 'Overkill' Outlet Insulator\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Another problem with standard AC wall receptacles is that they use a cheap nylon as an insulator in the outlets,\" Jay explains. \"From my years developing components for X-Ray equipment, I knew of an advanced polymer which has a much lower dielectric constant, making it a far better insulator. It also has a much higher voltage standoff. In fact, I've used it in X-Ray cable connectors that had to handle 250,000 volts.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Sure, 250,000-volt standoff capability may sound like overkill,\" Jay admits. \"But audiophiles would demand nothing but the best when it comes to supplying power to their sensitive audio gear. So that's what I decided to use.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFirmly Gripping High-grade Copper Contacts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAnother pet peeve that Jay has with standard AC outlets is that \"almost all manufacturers use cheap thin brass for their AC contacts. Only a select few of those are even nickel plated to prevent corrosion in wet environments. This isn't really an improvement. I believe that nickel plating is detrimental to performance.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"For our entry-level Premier AC receptacle I used extra-thick contacts made of copper-plated phosphor bronze. They firmly grip male AC plug prongs without letting go,\" said Jay. \"It's a 20-amp outlet design – overkill, again, in some cases, I admit – but the outlet works perfectly with either 15-amp or 20-amp AC plugs. So Premier provides that extra versatility, too.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReceptacle Mounting Bracket\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\"Speaking of pet peeves,\" Jay continued. \"Take a look at the flimsy mounting bracket most outlets feature to bolt the outlet to the wall box. I couldn't bear to have any of my outlets insecure, so I included a very thick metal mounting bracket instead. Nothings going to shake this outlet loose from the wall,\" Jay told us, \"except maybe an earthquake.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pangea Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45982185488557,"sku":"DEMO-PGNPR-20AMP-WHT","price":18.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/PGNPR_WHT_01-Large__87110.1692629744.1280.1280_14582a44-f45f-430c-abac-c7ae46e30cab.jpg?v=1778142495"},{"product_id":"pangea-audio-premier-xl-ac-outlet-gold-plated-beryllium-green-demo","title":"Pangea Audio Premier XL AC Outlet Gold Plated Beryllium (Green - DEMO","description":"\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #040453; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; font-size: 20px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; outline: none !important; font-style: normal; line-height: 1.2; text-transform: capitalize; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003eNo-Compromise Audiophile Duplex AC Wall Outlet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; outline: none !important; color: #202020; font-family: Poppins, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\" align=\"justify\"\u003eFor no-compromise power access from your household AC system, upgrade to Pangea Audio's top-of-the-line AC wall outlet.
