AC outlets

I'm considering replacing my 20 amp Hospital grade ac outlets by Leviton, for better audio quality outlets.
I read a review that ACME ac outlets are a good value @ $45.00 and Mastro outlets @ $89.00 are also recommended.
If you use either of these I'd like to know your impressions. Or, if you replaced your ac outlets which did you chose.
I'm using solid state components.

Also, did anyone find replacing the ac face plate improve your system?

Thanks,

Rick.

I chose Furutech FPX-Cu for an outlet that powered a headphone-based system. I have been quite happy with the sound quality and the affordable price of the outlet. It lists for $69, and I believe that I paid about $50 for mine. I did not use an aftermarket outlet cover.

Heavy copper, Hubbell is as good as it gets... Everything else is window dressing. If you want to use a contact enhancer, that always helps.
Silver or clad outlets,  just a lot of money.

Faceplate? They look nice and offer fire protection. I like nonconductive covers that offer the 2 hour protection. Conductive covers really doesn't make sense to me.. Just me though..
