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)

Also about the plating, but I've also bought (but never used yet) contact enhancers. The two that I have are the Stabilant 22A and the Furutech Nano Liquid Ag/Au enhancers. Still have a ton of research to do, but that'll have to wait until the fall

Great for bringing up that point. Mine came from Japan. But this highlights a huge problem with new and used accessories these days. 

You must be very careful when purchasing today.

There is no reason to have corrosian resistant sockets in your home.

There is no argument here, but I was amused because I have my windows and doors open 24/7 and the ocean breeze brings in the 'salt air.'  Maybe I do need the ones that don't corrode. smiley

I have cleaned and treated my sockets, but I have not inspected them closely.
