Hi bartc,The British plugs and outlets, for example, are truly beefy compared to that in the US. But that's far from the only variable affecting the sound. The metals used, the housings used, the polish/surface on the metals -- all make a very very big difference. Were the issue beef alone, it would be a different story.
British plugs, by law, must have a built-in fuse, so a lot of the sonic benefits of good construction are crippled right there. The German shuko plugs are interesting. Since they're unpolarized, you can change the phase by reversing line and neutral with a simple 180˚ turn of the wrist. I've got this nagging thought that Oyaide or Furutech make shuko plugs and/or receptacles, but I can't find a reference for them at this moment.
