Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?

What is its purpose?

Anyone who wants to see if customizing a wall socket makes a difference or not, keep your current wall outlet, but stick some strips of fo.Q TA-102 (from Japan via eBay) tape on it. Cover it as much as desired. Total cost about $10 worth of the piezoelectric tape, for your jaw on the floor.

$32 on ebay.  $95 at cableco.  Sounds about right.

Use of small strips of fo.Q material is highly recommended. As the top plates of US spec receptacles are usually held by only one screw the edges will unavoidably resonate. Adding strips of fo.Q across the edges of the top plate to the wall or outlet frame will damp this resonance. Be careful not to overdamp however as this can deaden the sound. This phenomena may also be why slightly loosening the top plate screw can sound better the having it fully tightened

@whostolethebatmobile  Thanks for bringing the fo.Q TA-102 to my attention. I just placed an order.

Question to you and folkfreak and others who have used it:  Advice on the 'Thick' 1mm tape vs the 'Thin' 0.33mm tape? Thanks.
