1) Where is the "upper side" of outlets?
2) Is there some danger here from the metal?
3) Would this work with the quarters tweak, do you think?

"1) Where is the "upper side" of outlets?"

Looking at the rear of the outlet, the disc is placed on the right side above the side screw as that was the easiest place to attach the disc along the crowded rear panel. I could have mounted it on the rear back strap I guess but I wanted an intimate contact with the body.

"2) Is there some danger here from the metal?"

None that I can see in my situation but one must make an assessment of their own configuration to ensure that no electrical contact with the disc could happen. In the PP-1, there is no bare metal exposed in the wiring with the exception of the wire lugs at the main Earth GND terminal bolt. The mains input filter has lugs exposed but these are 4" inches away from the disc. The PP-1 is built with plenty of real estate inside.

"3) Would this work with the quarters tweak, do you think?"

I would not try a side mount with the quarters unless it could be assured that the stack would remain attached but mounting them on the top of the outlet could be feasible. I was able to get a good DIY replica of the discs with quarters so U could get a good taste of what the discs provide with quarters I believe.

I don't have any concern of the discs falling off as the attaching interface of the discs sticks with great tenacity and it takes some real effort to remove a disc once applied. Also, if in the highly unlikely event that it did become detached, it would just fall to the bottom panel.

Cheers,

- Have you tried a Shakti online on the back of the R1? - clio09 08:05:17 07/23/07 (1)
  I am going to mount one on the back of mine when I move into my new space. Alan Maher recommended this. Also, I have heard some people use a strip of ERS on the back of the outlet as well.

    There are lots of tweaks that have some sonic impact, but may also carry some electrical risks. Conductive materials, materials that are flammable, or materials that crowd the outlet so as to unnaturally increase their temperature when they're working - any and all of these carry risks.
    
    ERS cloth may have some conductive potential (nickel and carbon fiber) and some flammability. I'm not sure, but you should be before you place that in the outlet!
