"Audiophile" power receptacles are a marketing scam. All that matters is that the male plug is gripped well and any hospital grade receptacle will work fine.
I do not see an issue spending several hundred on an audiophile receptacle. In most cases, you are only buying one, and you only have to buy it once. For a few hundred bucks, even if it is just providing peace of mind that I’m using the best, it is worth it to me.
