Maestro faceplate - does it make a difference?

Yes I use both sides of my brain or as you have pointed out ..both of me. Tom

Or maybe Geoff buys his ceramic wall plates on Amazon https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41vDumcXTWL._SX425_.jpg for $3.82 and offers them up to audiophiles that visit here or his website for $30.00. If I were to use these plates I would upgrade and  use a non ferrous brass machine screw for $.59.. Tom

I use the same treatments in pro audio products and home audio materials and products. Material treatments are beneficial to most everything even if the product's raw cost is $3.82. Forgot about the $.59 brass screw. That should be treated as well. Tom 

Most treatments are $5.00 per pound less shipping to and from. How many of these = 1 lb. ? Tom

Like your ahead on the understanding of interfering energy in all solids that vibrate. Your still stuck in the box of sand and silt. Tom

Geoff,
Much of what has grown out of the movie theater Professional installations of the 1930’s ..Western Electric and RCA are still being pursued for their simple magic and are being copied even today for their use in high end audio system products. You should remember those installations as you are of the same era though not as significant. Tom

You can buy one just like it..though untreated from Amazon..for less than $4.00. How would know its treated unless you had 2 that were untreated and you sent 1 off yourself for treatment and then compare. Tom

So Geoff at a 25 piece qty. you will have a cost per piece of about $5..per unit...nice profit on a $30.ticket. Good job ..Worst you have to do is to drive to the post office..if your allowed or maybe you call for pickup. Then you will have done nothing. Tom

Skippy as in peanut butter?  Just pointing out the obvious about price gouging..25 of these plates may weigh 1lb..5$  for treatment and $15 for roundy round shipping. Tom

For one it is gross margin $$ and for the rest ..the consumers it is just gross..Tom

Geoff
You always change the subject when the negative is of you..Tell us more about the form and function of the wall plates you buy from Amazon and then resell. Other than yourself who do these wall plates benefit? Tom

For those among us who may wish to use their own eyes for comparison to the photo in the link above you could possibly venture to Geoff’s own site as he wishes you should do. Notice the change of photo profile and the stunning and rich backround of rich Corinthian leather..$30.00..compare to the Amazon link below.. Leather in photo not included. http://machinadynamica.com/Tru_Tone_Cover.jpg

For comparison here is a photo of a strikingly similar ceramic ac outlet cover sold on Amazon for $3.82. Forgo the faux leather and upgrade at a low cost with the use of a non ferrous brass screw ( 59 cents) instead of what is supplied.
