Power conditioner vs use of a audio grade outlet?

If I have a $7000 Power conditioner and really nice power cables is there a need for audio grade outlet? Maybe it's a dumb question but if I didn't have this other good stuff maybe I should get an audio grade outlet.

Pangea seems to offer a good outlet for about 100 bucks.

The small upgrades are additive. With the tiny cost involved a high end outlet is a no brained.

I have a Saturn 103C conditioner, that was an amazing upgrade in itself. I have all Wire Work silver electra 7 power cables. The icing on the cake was a dedicated 20 amp circuit with a Cardas Audio 4181US wall outlet. Best money I ever spent. You will hear the difference.

Yes, you definitely want a good wall outlet. There are various options available. Hopefully, a dedicated circuit going to that outlet.

Hubbell 5362 works well for me. Great grip and solid construction
