Rhodium plated audio grade wall socket

Is this snake oil?

https://www.mcru.co.uk/product/rhodium-plated-audio-grade-wall-socket/?v=79cba1185463

I am renovating my house so have the opportunity to overhaul everything including the electrics. I am having a dedicated line from the breaker box/RCD to my hifi equipment. Will adding these types of wall sockets also help reduce interference from other household appliances, routers etc? What does Rhodium actually do in this case? It’s less conductive than copper, silver and gold.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

In a well balanced system rhodium is perfect and very refined. Tend to agree with @steakster ​​​​. 

For me base material is very crucial.

OP, if you have to ask the question, you have answered it.  Good luck.

I like using hospital grade with copper contacts. It's takes some drilling down spec sheets but they can be had on the cheap from reputable manufacturers. Really the best deal in my opinion. Something engineered in mass to make sure life saving equipment will make good contact has to be good enough for audio...

Look at the Maestro Outlets. I had been using Porter Ports since forever. But the Maestro's are head and shoulders above. Read the reviews. The upgrade will suprise you.
