In Reply to: RE: Carbon Fiber AC Outlet Wall Plate posted by Tweaker456 on April 26, 2017 at 15:12:41
Drilling a hole in the middle would be fine but less interesting to me. The primary benefit of the carbon fiber wall plate is for EMI absorption rather than vibration/resonance control purposes, IME. I compared a smaller version carbon fiber wall plate with a solid aluminum wall plate with the same dimensions, and the carbon fiber version provides better clarity, to my ear.

Brass isn't aluminum. I went with the Brainards from your review. Eventually I will try a brass unit. I believe I can hear a difference between types of center screws, brass vs steel I guess, and also, at the risk of villification from the anti tweak lurkers out there, I believe I can hear a difference in how tight the center screw is. If I wasn't hallucinatin it would lend credence to vibration manipulation as being important. T456

Brass has no inherent vibration control properties. In fact, brass tends to ring so it's actually a resonator, and it's why bells and cymbals tend to be made of brass or bronze. However, resonation has potential dissipation properties, so it could be seen as a system tuning material of your choice.
Been reading a bit on the subject. Aluminum has damping properties and brass is said to transfer the vibration and not dampen. IME thick brass, like in footers probably dosn't ring much but "works" to transfer the vibrations to wood or whatever. I do like what it does under equiptment better than Black Diamond CF racing cones. As to what would be better as a plate I don't know. Vibration wise it might not work for the plate. Anyhow, they are making trumpets, or at least the bell of a trumpet out of carbon fiber these days. T456
