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 use "20 amp" receptacles regardless of whether the receptacle is on a 15 or 20 amp circuit ...
That is definitely a code violation in many places, and potentially hazardous.

Two othr duplex in the Technical power section run the plasma TV, the power for Kuzma TT motor, and two DVD players. things I do not think need the Furutech touch!        
Actually power supplies for turntable motors are just about one of the most sensitive parts of any setup -- please do try upgrading the power cord and the outlet for your Kuzma, you may be very surprised at the impact

Welcome to the exciting world of outlet swapping! Isn’t It amazing the amount of change one outlet can make!
when things have settled in a while I hope you will try an upgrade outlet for your TV.
My Sony 4K and the LG- OLED TV’s both improved when attached to a Synergidtic Research Blue outlet. I think you will be impressed with a Fututech outlet for your TV.
