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.

If you're going to upgrade the circuits, where will you stop?
Not being funny, but really, what about the line out side and the BIG line all the way to the local utility? Those are the lines that pick up a vast majority of "noise" that poorly designed components can not filter out. Also,
I would imagine if you had to use some type of power conditioner, your equipment could be lacking in engineering talent expertise in the power supply design.

I think money could be better spent elsewhere for a better return on your dollar.
