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)

I've never experienced a satisfactory result after trying several hospital grade outlets over the years.

I've had good, consistent results with the product linked below. I've made the recommendation to other folks and all have been satisfied as well.

I use Shunyata Z-1 cryoed outlets.  They grip tight and were around $100 each when I purchased them. All the wall outlets in my living room are by Shunyata and I use 2 dedicated 20 amp lines for the system.  All my power conditioners and power cords with one exception (Acrolink for the Esoteric player) use Various Shunyata cords.

.....go with the best Furutech along with their wall plates. You will not look back and I was surprised what a difference it actually made.
