What exactly are you trying to shield against? Anything EMI related that is happening in your outlet box is going to be carried right through the shield by the power cord and into your equipment. It will not make one iota of difference. The proof is easy. When you touch the center conductor of a cable to the input of your preamp do you hear 60Hz hum? Yes, you do. Your listening room is full of EMI radiated by your house wiring. (and cell phone and any other electrical device in your home) Your cover plate being shielded can do nothing to change this. It is avoided or controlled by using shielded cables and good grounding. I'm an engineer and I have EMI experience. The psychological effect of shielding your cover plates could make a massive difference to the sound, however.
