.......agree with the above posts re hospital grade outlets. They have higher build quality and are specifically designed to tightly grip the plug (so the plug can't easily fall out), and thus they provide better contact than regular household outlets.
But given a choice, I would opt for the outlets Bob B. mentions above. I use Hubbell audiophile grade outlets at 2/$25. from the Cable Co.
It's been my sad experience that some power conditioners actually degrade music quality. As I continued to up-grade my system, a Tice E-4 power conditioner finally became a liability. I sold it, put in a dedicated AC system, and now plug everything directly into the wall. Cheers. Craig
