A non-magnetic stainless steel screw, or if you want to go overboard, buy a pricey titanium screw.
Otherwise, a simple brass screw is fine. Even the mundane screw that came with a plastic wall plate is not a deal breaker.

I'm 90% joking. Really? I'm sure the screw that comes with even the cheapest home store wall plate is adequate. The tension from wall plate to wall acts as a damper, too, so I have difficulty even imagining a vibration path.....as if that makes any difference whatsoever.
Too much is never enough
Picture Guy......if ever you leave California and find yourself in Scottsdale, Az, I'd like you to have dinner and music.....you'll be floored the difference if I just take one cover plate off of one outlet. It is very dramatic and easily heard
I'm EXTREMELY cynical as a general rule, though Good Food trumps my reticence.However? MY test would be to have someone remove OR NOT the cover in question without you knowing. IF you go ......'Hey!~ Where's the cover?' i'd be convinced....as long as it is safely out of sight....
ALL my travel is on hold until at least after 1st of the year. Maybe by SPring Training, I could get aroom and see a couple games......and have a good listening experience.
OR
If you know a good place for PHOTOGRAPHY, I'm always game for a desert experience. Any Mojave Green in the neighborhood?

I'm sure you're correct pictureguy that any screw is adequate or fine as duster says. I'm sure a plastic ordinary wall plate is fine also. I'm sure listening with cheap headphones on a computer is fine. I'm sure listening to cheap crummy capacitors is fine for the majority of humans. I'm sure it would be fine to just get rid of Tweaker's Asylum since listening to music without tweaking is fine, I'm sure it is.

I would NEVER try to interfere with YOU and YOUR RIGHT to tweak away. Have fun.
And I know that in the big picture, sometimes an interesting and more.......global......discovery is made.
So? Carry on. I'm right now trying to source depleted Uranium wall place screws. And using wall plates backed with some sound damping stuff. Who knows?
The whole history of this is one of increasingly better and more detailed measurements and coorelations. But still and all, NO predictor of ultimate sound quality. That's in the furure, if ever.

So let me see if I have this correct pg. You have listened to steel and brass screws used for a wall plate and you have not heard a difference?

I'm actually nearly completely indifferent. But wonder how this 'vibration' thing got started in the first place......
I DO support high gauge cordage and multiple circuits. But some stuff which CAN be tested has simply NOT been looked at.....
