Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?

Anyone who wants to see if customizing a wall socket makes a difference or not, keep your current wall outlet, but stick some strips of fo.Q TA-102 (from Japan via eBay) tape on it. Cover it as much as desired. Total cost about $10 worth of the piezoelectric tape, for your jaw on the floor.

There is a recent thread in Tech Talk where I list the best uses I have found for fo.Q TA-32 (thin tape) and TA-102 (thick tape). Generally the thin tape works best on cables and connectors, thick tape on components and chassis. I’m generally more on the side of "more is more" when it comes to fo.Q. But it boils down to personal taste and your sensitivity to coloration produced by low amplitude vibration.

You have to realise what is happening with fo.Q. It is reducing the amplitude of already very low amplitude mechanical vibrations. As the amplitude decreases, the effectiveness increases. It’s not a conventional damping material like rubber or Sorbothane. It will effectively reduce the amplitude of vibrations that have such low amplitude that you may not realise they exist. Until they are gone.
