In the case of most North American made duplex outlets (at least the better ones), you have two attachment points per leg, each directly screwed into one duplex and each having two holes (4 total per side, I like the NEMA 5362 style outlets).Since on each side, you have four wire inputs, one pair going to each respective outlet, I cut a piece of wire, say about 2 inched long, bend into a U shape and insert into the middle two inputs. This effectively jumpers over the two duplex outlets, paralleling the clippable bridge that is stock.
Now, I have observed that if you insert the power cables, hot and neutral, into one duplex receptacle, say the lower one, that outlet seems a bit more dynamic than the upper one. The situation is akin to a bi wired speaker. If you hook up a single wire speaker cable to the tweeter inputs, the speaker sounds brighter even though the bridge is supposed to neutralize the hook up configuration. Likewise, hooking the single speaker cable to the woofer outputs generates a bit more bass. However, if you hook up the wire's one lead to tweeter and one lead to woofer you get closer to a true bi wired sound. The same applies to a duplex outlet: if you stagger the leads to each receptacle, the result is more evenly spread throughout the pair.
There is still a slight difference, as the direcet hot lead receptacle is a bit brighter, but the two will be much closer in sound.
Hope this helps:
