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?

I should make clear on my previous statement - that is if your home is relatively modern with a good electrical system, or is an older home with a professionally upgraded electrical system. I can see the value in having a dedicated 20A circuit for your high draw power amps and large powered subs, however....Jim

@audiosens The wall plate is a tweak I've always thought was just an appearance thing.

jhills.... So you are saying that a CDP does not need to be on a dedicated circuit ? And that just changing the receptacle to an audio grade is good enough?

I always thought and heard that a CDP and all digital components would be better off on a dedicated circuit..
