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

I have got myself in this outlet cover mess recently and decided why not try a solid mid sized brass cover the home depot sells for $4.99. There was a sticker on it that read pegasus. Why not brass. Is not brass good for resanance.

I am in the process of this and will keep posted on results.

Albertporter,
I will have to check on the covers that read unbreakable. I was going to go around my house and see if I have anything different. I was not nuts about the plastic pass and seymore, but like you said it was acceptable. I could not deal with the magnetic steel one however

Try the brass next time your at the Depot

How about brass clocks and rocks? Do they work as well?

just of our curiosity, are you referring to the outlet recepticle (i.e what you plug your power cables into?) if so then i agree with you that outlets do make a difference. I cant understand your findings about the center mounting screw though. any ideas why different levels of tightness makes a difference?

>>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.<<

This is all a joke right?

To quote John McEnroe, "You can't be serious".

I hope this is a joke but if it's not please list your other system components in order to determine what quality level one needs to attain so that duplex covers enter the tweak realm.
