In Reply to: Have you tried Geoff Kait's fancy plates? nt posted by clarkjohnsen on May 3, 2007 at 08:59:47:
I use one of them on my DIY outlet strip where it seems to work fine, but I also face it with a carbon fiber blank that is about 3/8" thick to mimic the properties of the Oyaide plate.When he first started pushing these, I bought one and tried it out against other cover plates on my wall - the place it should have worked the best. I won't repeat the review. Don't expect any magic here.
What I will tell you is that it's indistinguishable from what you'd buy at your local hardware store for $5-10 in every way. Given my subsequent conversations with Geoff, I'm frankly more convinced that it is nothing more than an ordinary ceramic plate than ever!
That does not say that it doesn't work for damping and for not adding metallic signatures; it does work for those things exactly as I would have expected. Where I get skeptical is the hint that it does any more than that, particularly where he suggests that putting more on other household outlets will improve the sonics of your audio system. That simply makes no sense to me at all.
