In Reply to: "Audio Grade" Mains breaker posted by mikehb on July 26, 2008 at 05:01:07:
The circuit breaker must fit the panel. In most cases you must buy the same brand breaker as the maker of the panel. In a few cases there are choices as to the brand of circuit breaker that will fit a particular panel. I'd pick the breaker with the biggest contact and most secure fit to the lug on the panel bus.
I know of no breakers that are claimed to be for audiophiles. If you feel that cryogenic treatment is worthwhile, a cryo shop might treat the breaker you buy (or the brand and model breaker you specify).
