Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle

Thanks so much for the robust response to this. Much to chew on.  Thanks!

As I wrote in my blog, if you have any old upstream outlets consider inspecting/replacing them with at least Contractor/Residential outlets.  For those of us not lucky enough to have dedicated outlets, there's a lot that could have been done wrong upstream, so it's a good idea to get into those as well.

Eaton Residential / Commercial outlets are cheap, ~ $4 each.  My house is 17 years old and I found loose as well as back stabbed outlets which had to go, so I just went through them all in the listening room.

Cruze First.

Some of you should check what the defining attribute of a hospital grade receptacle actually is. It has nothing to do with aspects, other perhaps than grip, which would affect the signal.

The point of a quality receptacle is simply an issue of improving all you can from the wall forwards. Not much of a stretch. 

Most of us would have a line conditioner with multiple receptacles on it. If you were just to change the wall receptacle to one of those grippier ones, wouldn’t it make sense to replace all the receptacles in your system to fully take advantage of loose or questionable receptacles.
