more power from both sockets?

can one draw all the power from one socket
(of a standard US 2-socket outlet)
that one could draw using both sockets?

[I ask because I'm wondering, if I want to use just one outlet to power multiple components, could I draw more power if I bought another power conditioner for the other socket?]

thank you!

There should be no ground loop problems if multiple dedicated lines are all on the same 120V leg.

All of that book theory is fine, but it does not reflect real world audiophile experience. Thousands of audio enthusiasts run their systems on multiple dedicated lines -- on the same 120V leg -- with no ground loop issues. What is the person with the large audio or HT system of multiple high powered amps supposed to do ? Run everything on a single 20A circuit for fear of having a ground loop ?
