Based on what I've read so far, a good sounding outlet should have all metal parts made of brass. That includes the metal strap which attached the grounding screw. I've found that all-brass outlets are hard to find. Most of them have straps and clamping plates made of steel. But I've already bought a few of them by mistake.My question is, does the steel strap have any degrading affect on the audio signal if I don't connect the grounding screw?
