RE: Carbon Fiber AC Outlet Wall Plate

Posted by Salectric on April 25, 2017 at 08:15:25:
I certainly agree with the advice to ignore trolls. This is just one of many, many instances in hifi where some people are willing to try a tweak and hear a difference, and others are not willing to try it because they already "know" it can't make a difference. That is just their loss, in my opinion.

My only experimentation with wall plates is with a Furutech GTX-D NCF outlet which I bought as a combo package with the aluminum wall bracket and NCF carbon fiber plate. I have only used the parts together so can't say which part is responsible for what change in sound. But I can say the package as a whole makes a significant change in sound. Where I might differ with some other comments and reviews is that I don't find the changes to be all that major or dramatic. When my equipment is plugged into the Furutech outlet, the music is a little cleaner and more detailed than with a standard builder grade outlet, but also somewhat smaller sounding. An overall improvement, but not so much that I have been tempted to buy another one.
