Image: Oyaide WPC-Z machined aluminum bracket/carbon fiber faceplate device (shown with an Oyaide SWO-XXX AC outlet). The model number is "Oyaide WPC-XXX" when sold as a set including the AC outlet.---
I've installed an Oyaide WPC-Z aluminum bracket/carbon fiber faceplate system at the wall and it performs much better than expected. My system's overall gestalt has greatly improved; as-if other recent upgrades and tweaks have now finally fallen into place. With an Oyaide SWO-XXX AC outlet mounted on it, the presentation is far more relaxed and musical with a more organic quality (less "electronic" sounding) with a "liquid ease" in a similar manner as when other types of noise and vibration control devices are placed in a system. The system's soundstaging, imaging and other listening cues sound more like real acoustics. The bottom end is more authoritative and "naturally robust", the top end is smoother while not sounding softened, and there's almost a tube-like bloom from top to bottom, now (my system is SS), without sounding euphonic to my ear.
I'm *very* surprised it performs as well as it does, and find it's sonic benefit to be equal if not more impressive than what the SWO-XXX AC outlet provides (to my ear). That might be hard to believe, but that's my finding, at least. If one considers how expensive any high end chassis can be, the WPC-Z is cost effective for what it does, YMMV.
I've been joyfully listening to music all day, which I often could not do for such a longterm in the past due to a level of listening fatigue that set in after several hours...
