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)

go with the best Furutech along with their wall plates.

But the outlet is not an IG, Isolated Ground type outlet.

The OP was going to check the wiring in the wall outlet box to see exactly what the electrician installed. He may just have installed a 10-2 with insulated ground MC (Metal Clad) aluminum armor cable. Then a regular outlet will work great.

FWIW an IG outlet and IG Equipment Grounding Conductor does nothing for the sound from an audio system in a residential dwelling unit like a house.

Its been found they really didn’t meet the hype in commercial facilities either.
