Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference?

Or are you speaking from speculation based upon assumed principles?

That's our Randy!!!

I would buy a Porter Port before I bought Maestro duplex receptacle.

The Maestro starts out as a Cooper BR20 duplex outlet. At Lowe’s, $3.47

OP,

A non breakable nylon duplex plate will work just fine.

jubrip - there is no point in wasting time on things that can only work by confirmation bias, not by any known laws of physic or electronics

better to buy some ball bearings, cups and damped tiles to sit your components on...

Just use any decent $10 to $15 outlet - Hubbell and others make good solid ones.

You want a solid connection (for the amp) - nothing else matters at an AC power outlet

Wrong on so many levels.

Some more data to consider:
I built a power box with 6 outlets and put a fancy stainless steel faceplate on it so it would look nice. I then decided to try a lightweight nylon faceplate after getting rid of ferrous materials in my power cords.. the nylon faceplate definitely sounds better. 

As for which faceplate you should get.. that's beyond my paygrade
