After looking at your Inmate Systems page, and based on your stated budget-level, I suggest purchasing an Oyaide R1 Beryllium AC outlet, and some audiophile-quality power cords.
There are plenty of AA Inmates who are willing and able to provide any assistance you might require for a safe DIY AC outlet installation project. Folks go to Home Depot everyday to buy AC outlets for the purpose.
If you can operate a screwdriver, you can safely install an AC outlet at the wall, AudioDwebe.

From your review of the two, it seems the Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) seems to be more to my liking. It's more pricey, but might be the way for me to go.
What do you think?
Thank you.

I won't presume to know what you believe would sound best in your system.So, I will only add that in my experience with rhodium, it can sound a little bright. Before Oyaide came out with their R1, I cycled through all their colored outlets. Of the gold, rhodium, and paradium (palladium - seriously, the box had "paradium" printed on it) outlets, I favored the palladium (purple one) as the "just right" one of the three. The gold sounded soft and mushy, the rhodium one sounded hard and a bit glossy. Then came the R1. And I forgot all those others.
I forgot to add that the Furutech, even though rhodium plated, has copper as the base metal. That makes it a different animal from the Oyaide Rhodium model with its bronze base metal. It might just make for nice marriage, the rhodium/copper combo.

Thank you.
For some reason, I'm thinking the Furutech is the "top of the mountain" (I'm sure due to its price) and all others fall below them.
It's a bit embarrassing to admit this when normally I'm of the belief price doesn't equate with quality.

I'm cock-sure you'd find either of them a wonderful improvement.
A vital matter to consider is the influence of the particular make/model AC outlet installed at the wall establishes the character of an audio set-up, systemwide. It's a key factor in the choice of custom system tuning methods.
I chose to use an Oyaide R1 AC outlet mounted on an Oyaide WPC-Z aluminum bracket with carbon fiber faceplate installed at the wall since it's an excellent sounding option for the purpose. It's relatively neutral, not hyped sounding, nor too warm sounding. The Oyaide R1 offers a notably musical and elegant presentation, with excellent detail and a firm bottom-end. It really comes into its own when an Oyaide P-004 AC plug is connected to the Oyaide R1.
If a listener wants a very lively top-end with a vivid presentation, the Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) AC outlet will provide that. I choose to use the Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) installed in a power line distributor for my preamplifier and DAC since those particular audio components benefit from its presentation. I use another Oyaide R1 and an unplated Oyaide R0 installed in the power line distributor for use with other power cords for my primary audio components.
So the Furutech GTX-D NCF(R) is implemented for a special purpose rather than being the greatest influence on my AC delivery system.
