Pangea Premier AC Power Outlet Receptacle is an affordable audiophile-grade duplex AC wall outlet that's a worthy addition to your other electronic gear. Premier delivers the best possible performance from all your AV components. You've invested in high quality hi-fi and home theater gear. Your networking gear is top notch, and you invested in upgrade AC power cables. "The trouble with the most common outlets in most homes is poor design and cheap parts," explains Pangea Audio Design Engineer, Jay Victor. "They are made from a cheap plastic that's a poor insulator and from thin, low-grade metals. 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." "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." "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 in all of the Pangea Premier-series AC power receptacles, from the entry level Premier model to the Premier SE and the top-of-the-line Premier XL."
