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.

Thanks for your input. Budget is always a factor in purchasing any component or addition to my system, at this time I am looking to tweak my system to obtain a little more sonic purity. I have read up on the Oyaide series, and yes their price is not the cheapest. I will be needing 2 receptacles. If $200 can give a jump in performance, they may be under consideration. Have you had any experience with these? Thanks

Uppermidfi, that is correct. The Oyaide's price per receptacle I believe is not quite $100 per. I am also interested in learning more about the Porter Ports. If $200 is spent on receptacles, regardless which ones and the improvement is noteworthy then is it not worth the investment. We sometimes give more attention to true high end components and spend much more $$ for maybe a slight improvement. My goal is for a purer sound and I do not have any to A/B compare except fot the standard ones.
Answering to the response to the outside line feed I have chosen to draw the line at the wall receptacle fed with romex 10/2. Again your advise is much appreciated.
