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)
The best method? Don't use a plug. Hardwire in a sealed box. Cheapest and by far the best. You could simply cut off the ends, strip the wires and solder/connect them together in a sealed box. Then you don't have to pay a rediculious amount for a more 'snug' fitting hospital outlet. Of course the outlet can easily be reinstalled with a plug outlet at any time.

Your attempting to improve the 'weak link' which is the connection of the PLUG its self. None of these connection changes will give you more power/high voltage or cleaner electricity or less noise. The only reason for upgraded outlets is for reliability concerns. Whether ANY of the solutions will give you an audible improvement is doubtful but if you want the absolute best, most reliable connection available eliminate the plug altogether. Good luck!
