I know what U mean about the little 3mm outlet mounting screws. I have damn near stripped one even using the correct sized screwdriver and getting it out might be an adventure if I ever want to swap in another receptacle. I have thought about replacing them with hex head screws but need to ensure the CF plate will mount flush if I do.
I too replaced the midrange driver mounting screws in my Alon Lotus SE mk ll's with non-ferrous screws and heard a nice/subtle increase in resolution. The Alon l's are next :-)
One of THE best tweaks I have found for any AC outlet, Oyaide included, is to attach a Golden Sound acoustic disc to the side of the outlet body. I have tried one on the backstrap but the side mount yields a bit lower noise floor as it is in direct/intimate contact with the outlet body.
I have thought about putting some kind of interface between the WPC-Z plate and the wall but the GS AD does wonders when attached to the outlet body but an interface will be something on my list of things to explore.
Cheers and thanks for sharing,

I've completed the gasketing of my WPCs with the .125" E.A.R C-1002 Isodamp. Very interesting.

It will not be removed, but of course the .25" C-1002 is singing it's siren song. The electric blue color is a *very handsome aesthetic addition to the installation, BTW. If time ever permits, I'll try and post a photo.

I don't do reviews, I'm a sceptic, and when I'm in the car wash, the car *does feel to be moving forward as the brushes approach. So I know I'm suseptible to head games.

Since you're an experimenter, permit me to suggest to you that gasketing the WPC against the sheetrock be placed *highly on your list. What's unknown, is any additional effect since you're using the GS discs. Might be a wash.

What is unarguable is the science and engineering behind E.A.R products. Consumer selection of which product for what appliaction is the variable.

(I used to have GS discs in the room corners, but they are long gone.)
