Ha, by Monday I should have a black, red and blue all in the same wall side by side on different spurs back to my Torus. I've already moved from the original red to a black and like what it does so hope for more of the same from the Blue ...

Currently burning the Blue in on my Cable Cooker
My thoughts on the Blue from the other thread, definitely a keeper, much more dynamic and wide open than the Black, even to the extent that it can highlight problems elsewhere in the system

and grip is fine, not hard to use but firm enough, like the Black in that regard
Use of small strips of fo.Q material is highly recommended. As the top plates of US spec receptacles are usually held by only one screw the edges will unavoidably resonate. Adding strips of fo.Q across the edges of the top plate to the wall or outlet frame will damp this resonance. Be careful not to overdamp however as this can deaden the sound. This phenomena may also be why slightly loosening the top plate screw can sound better the having it fully tightened
I’m not a fan of damping the main electrical panel. I tried this and it killed the sound dead. My preference for the panel is to remove the door or leave it open. The thick fo.Q is useful on large capacitors, transformers and the like. But overall use fo.Q sparingly, less is more!
Thin definitely. The thick is only for use in large blocks damping top plates and the like
