Hi

Has anyone replaced their existing regular white square Malaysian wall receptacles with US ones to fit US plugs?

What brands are best for performance at a competitive and fit the existing footprint so there is no or minimal unnecessary wall defacing?

I looked at Oyaide and Hubbell online but am unsure if the fit as they are duplex units. Who carries them locally?

Thanks.

The one in your picture is a simplex or duplex?

Who sells it and how much does it cost?

Thanks

That one is simplex

Can fit. This is a 'SINE' product from HK. I am using a few in my room. Bought from Washington Audio in Kuching

The main "sound" improvement of the us plug is because they r fuseless. U truly need to know what u r doing here. As our 220~240v is not going to be kind over any short circuit. Obviously u have already get rid of switch before u come to this us plug tweak? My advise, unplug main when not listening.

Thanks.

I forgot about the switch.

I will get an electrician to install. I presume he will know how to get rid of switch.

Joe Ling, there is no simplex type. They are all duplex with 2 outlets.

Don't forget that the "live" and the "neutral" have their position switched.

Obviously SINE are best alternative.
you have "thicker plating" couple with" deep Cryogenic" treatment. speaking in terms- Performanve Vs Price ratio.SINE beats others "SOCK OFF", it let others walking bare-feet on the ground.Chose between Platinum or GOLD to suit your taste.
