brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good

I only spent a webit of time when I replaced it, but what I did here was nice. I will come back with a more clear result which I may do tonight. A lower noise floor is what I remember.

I have also a steel 51 cent cover that I will use also in the comparison.

I do have to say is it did make a change.

The brass outlet is all brass. I put a magnet to it and there was nothing. Nice thing about the polished brass is it sure looks cool.

To finish the rest of your question jea48 they are the home depot blue plastic outlet box. I have a watt gate 381 as my main two outlets. I Have a full home theater outfit so I but the brass covers on several of them. The other outlets are acme silver plated and a ps audio.

I did have the cheap bendable I guess plastic kind on there before.

yeah put one on each side of your head covering your ears and see if you can hear the difference in your wallet!

Bigkidz,
I noticed from your (Reviews) you apparently have done some on power cords. I did not take the time to read any of your reviews though, as from your post here I can only assume you think after market power cords are merely snake oil at best.....

Jea48,
I did the comparison tonight. It was intersting and anyone who says covers don't make a dif. probably have ears that can not hear the differences.

I compared my brass outlet, pass and seymore plastic, and a 51 cent magnetic steel from home depot. I used the same center screw and tightness for all plates.

Well, this was no contest and here are my findings

The pass and seymore seem to lack in the focus. There seem to be a loss of a little life.

The 51 cent magnetic steel seem to lack slightly in the pace and rhythem. What I did not like about it is it seem to add a sense of roughness or unnatural sound.

The brass outlet was a really sweet deal. The first thing I liked was its good pace and rythem. It was very crisp. It had a better sense of resolution to it and life and the focus was the best yet.
I then thought, why not add a second brass outlet on top of the other one to add more brass bulk for better resonance. Boy, was I wrong! Did the pace and rhythem take a big hit.

I also then messed with the position of the center screw. Having it really tight was like taking the air out of the music. Having it really loose (sticking out slightly) seem to have a bit loss in the focus. Having it tighted just by hand so it is just snug proved to be the winner.

Call me a geek...I already do!!!

I found some very heavy cast brass covers at a second hand store years ago. they are all 3/16" to 1/4" thick in a lovely design. I use them in the living room with my stereo, but I NEVER put them in there to alter the sound. Lucky for me they are very nice loking, and what they do to the sound is obviously not actually hearable. What soap I bathed with, and what shampoo I used may have more influence than outlets....
Are you 'super' tweakers displaying other psychotic symptoms, IMO.
