>>"I've found that it helps to check stuff for acoustic response when tweaking my audio system. All I do it hold it lightly next to my ear and tap on it with a fingernail."<<
>>>>>>>>>>Al I would somewhat agree with your above statement.
If A=B and B=C then A must = C.
Problem imo your test is flawed. If in your test you would have clasped the SS plate in your hand would you of heard it ring when you tapped it with your fingernail? I believe your answer would be no.
When the SS plate is fastened to the outlet with a 6/32 nylon screw it is pulled against the sheetrock wall. Sheetrock with a thick paper covering, a damping material. Infact the plate is bonded mechanically to the receptacle supporting strap via way of the nylon 6/32 cover plate supporting screw. Pulling the SS plate against the paper covering of the sheetrock.
==========>>"I've heard similar 'enhanced' sound from resonant support objects before. At first, I thought something had gotten better, but further listening revealed the colorations were only euphonic on some music, and masked details in general. I believe you would find the same thing if you did detailed comparisons of your system with and without the SS outlet covers in place."<<
>>>>>>>I did do this test with the 8300 Leviton outlets. I did not try it with the Hubbell 5362 outlets. I am pre-burning in my new cryoed HBL8300H outlets and will install them tomorrow. I will repeat the test and post my results.
