I have dedicated lines with PS Audio and Furutech wall receptacles. My advice to you is just buy hospital grade. But some hospital grade are better than others. Do a little research. Solid brass contacts etc.. Price will also indicate the good stuff from the great stuff.

 

Hospital grade is as good as it get’s.  But wait audio market crap has to be better than outlets supplying electrical to life-support systems etc. ya think ?? It’s the same thinking that puts paste’s, pads, Magic stones, in our MRI machines. Whatever the market will bear, wake up folks !

Just get a standard one and save your $$$s.  It will make no difference to the sound.  Juice is juice.

And ask the hospitals why they spend money on upgrades - here in UK that's taxpayers' money.

In 70+ years of living I have never had a 'wall receptacle' fail in UK, although the design and construction in US and France leave something do be desired because of their 110 volt systems (France went to 220v a long time ago, but kept the same Mickey Mouse kit).

+100 on the Oyaide R1

It is the top of the range Oyaide.

Top Furutech is nearly double the price and Quantum Science Audio sells $6.5k sockets.

I will tell you the $50, or $100 Pangea receptacles are all Copper ,and  Gold plated 

much heavier built then most even at much more monies and they grip the connectors very good , That be said  , fits Equally important to have similar quality 

pieces, and make connectors ,for many lesser cables use Brass ,not that great a conductor just loook under metals conductivity chart, Silver if roughly a 67, Copper a 64, Brass maybe a   24.  You can spend $300 if you want ,also in your line conditioners many use cheaper Hubble receptacles ,fine for industrial but not Audiophile this creates a resistive Bottleneck Copper+ rhodium ,or Gold , ,look on your interconnects, and speaker cables as well , what’s the point of all quality wire then cheap connectors at the end, it’s like putting cheap tires on a Ferrari.
