Replacing generic RECEPTACLES


How important is it to replace your generic receptacles with audio grade receptacles . I already replaced my stock power cords to high end Shunyatas. Would it still be necessary to still change my generic receptacles to audio grade?

I wasn’t referring to the 20A dedicated circuit argument. Wasn’t that obvious?
@tattooedtrackman  I don't believe that a CDP necessarily needs to be on a completely dedicated circuit, but would avoid sharing a circuit with appliances or even a high currant power amp.
Because good conductivity and tight connections is important - I do believe in the use of quality receptacles and because there is a bit of noise and grunge introduced from appliances and even down line transformers, and minor voltage dips and spikes in nearly all residential electrical circuits - I do believe in the use of good power conditioners for both video and audio gear...Jim
Yes you can put a 15 amp plug on a 20 amp circuit, but why would you want to?  
You can also put a 20 amp plug on a 15 amp circuit,  but you run the risk of burning down the house and everything in it. Oh yeah, and it's against pretty much every code for that reason!

Some people use 10 guage, but 12 Guage wire will handle both in a home setting, but the breaker might have to be changed to match the plug. 

Hope this helps.
