High performance electric outlets

I just moved into an apartment which has the weakest and most feeble outlets I have ever seen. There seems to be so much confusion and controversy about this subject that I have no idea where to start.

My apartment has the electric panel in the pantry closet, so I will be able to draw 220V for my ONEAC 3000W isolation transformer. The transformer has two 110V outlets and feeds all my system. I would also need two or three more outlets in a power strip next to my equipment.

Should I just get something like two of those orange Leviton Hospital Grade outlets from Home Depot ($11.00 each) to replace the ones in the isolation transformer or is it really worth to go the 'audio grade' route? If so, how can I make an educated decision?

What's your point?

I think it is pretty obvious that Artistic Audio finds the Furutech outlets to be of very high quality and recommends them. As to whether or not they are a dealer for such item, only they know the answer to that. At least they were honest enough to post under their business name and didn't try to sneak in as a shill. Sean

Sean, oops. This is what I was informed by one who usually does some pretty thorough homework prior to making any audio purchase.
