Good outlet for amplifiers


I have a circuit in my listening room for my amplifiers and it uses a dedicated ground.  Right now I have two duplex outlets connected - and I use the primary outlet (first on the run) for the amps (reserve secondary for subwoofers if needed).  I would like to install better quality outlets for this - two duplex, set up for a dedicated ground.  I could see spending $100-$200 per duplex, if that gets me something decent.  I want it to grip the plugs well.  Recommendations?

PS - I'm running two VAC Phi-200 amplifiers (200w tube amps, KT88)

@jea48 That's the word I was looking for.  "Isolated Ground".  Thank you! Can any/all of the recommendations above be wired as isolated ground?  I think this is the case if one uses a plastic box for the outlets, or uses plastic washers and screws to attach to a metal box.  Agreed???

@ghdprentice Does this have lugs on both sides, so I can connect through it to a second duplex?  I was thinking I'd get a Furutech for my amps and a lesser unit for the subs.

AND THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED!

I have worked in dozens of hospitals over five decades and have never seen upside down plugs with the ground pin on top. That includes in operating rooms where a spark, especially back in the day, could be disastrous.

@howardlee the ground on top makes more sense to me, because if something was to fall such as a paper clip onto a plug that isn’t plugged in all the way it could definitely cause a spark if it came in contact with the hot and neutral.

I saw the ground on top in an industrial facility I was working at in North Carlolina for a couple of weeks.  I asked around and nobody knew why.  Otherwise, I see it on the bottom.
