Replacing generic RECEPTACLES

How important is it to replace your generic receptacles with audio grade receptacles . I already replaced my stock power cords to high end Shunyatas. Would it still be necessary to still change my generic receptacles to audio grade?

Why does anyone think that they need a 20A dedicated circuit for a CDP?
How bout planning for the future? Adding more components, a server, subwoofer, whatever.

jhills...I do not a dedicated line for my CDP but i did buy 3 Furutech GTX-d r receptacles. 2 of them will be used for my Krell FPB 600 amp and ARC Ref 6 preamp... The other one i wanted to put on a dedicated 20A line for my CDP . Can the Furutech GTX-d r be wired to a 15A dedicated line? I thought they were 20A receptacles.

Forgot to mention the 2 Furutechs will be on a dedicated 20A line for my Amp and preamp.

I didnt know the Furutechs GTX - d r could be wired to a 15A circuit.. Thats why i was going to use a 20A line...Well i will now use a 15A dedicated line for my CDP. I thought i had no choice but to use a 20A line with the furutech.
