While the performance level of an audiophile quality AC wall plate may not be experienced as “utterly jaw-dropping” in effect (the Oyaide WPC-Z comes pretty close, though), the sonic betterment is profound enough to be considered a “must have” tweak, IME.
The primary notion of its function is to dampen contact surface vibrations of an AC outlet/AC plug connection. The elimination of a flimsy plastic AC wall plate which only serves as electrical protection with a replacement AC wall plate that actually improves sonic performance can be of obvious benefit.
A few aspects among a list of what one might expect from an audiophile quality AC wall plate vs. a typical plastic AC wall plate are improved coherency, more fully fleshed out images, greater delineation of all micro and macro level listening cues, more vivid and stable sound stage. It’s really a no brainer notion considering how easy it is to swap-out an AC wall plate for experimentation.
Whether it’s a basic $2 non-magnetic stainless steel AC wall plate or a SOTA $200 Oyaide WPC-Z wall mount unit, it’s well worth the effort to replace a mundane plastic AC wall plate with a simply better sounding option.
