The choice of wall receptacles

I am in process of running two dedicated circuits for my audio system. I will be running standard romex 10/2 wire point to point and will make the "upgrade" at the receptacle. The products I have read up on are as follows:
1)Wattgate
2)Furutech
3)PS Audio
4)Acme Audio Labs
5)FIM
6)Hubbell
7)Oyaide
8)Home Depot ($1.59)

My system consists of Bryston 7BSST Mono's, CAT Ultimate MKII pre, Nakamichi OMS7a cd player ( to be upgraded when I can decide what unit to purchase and how stable the cd outlook may be), B&W 801 Nautilus speakers, Audioquest Volcano speaker cables and Audioquest King Cobra interconnects. Please I am strictly looking for "SOUND" advise and not a slanted SALES advise. There is listed here 7 receptacles not including the basic Home Depot version. Any one with experienced listening got advise? Thanks.

The outlet offered by Take Five audio is not exactly the same model as mine, nor has it been deep cryo treated at NASA, like the Porter Port.

Please note this on their web site too:

Duties, taxes, brokerage, and all other fees levied by the destination country or carrier are the sole responsibility of the purchaser/receiver. We will not submit false customs documents, please do not ask.

This item comes from Canada and prompt shipping to USA is quoted at $16.75. Duty charges may or may not apply and unknown if US Customs would hold the item.

Shipping for Porter Port is via FedEx and each buyer gets a track number. I charge $6.75 for up to 3 outlets with insurance and home delivery (if needed).

Bottom line, about $4.00 difference.

I will say, if an Audiogon member lives in Canada the Take Five offer would be excellent. No customs hassles and much less delivery charge than getting from me (here in the USA).
