Receptacle Cover Plates & ISOCLEAN Alternatives?


I have five unused receptacles in a dedicated 20A room circuit (I built the house and am a GC). Was considering removing them (they are all off pigtails) in an effort to reduce overall resistance through the circuit and placing brass cover plate over the openings. Have you guys who have done similar experienced any notable benefits?

Noticed ISOCLEAN used plated copper to reduce EMI/RFI. What are some cost-effective alternatives (e.g. manufacturer of nickel plated brass)?

Interesting thoughts, Ivan_nosnibor. In that case, I will stick to my solid brass cover plates for now. Just tested for magnetism with a neodymium magnet...Nothing :) .
Not audiophile faceplates in my case, but non-magnetic receptacle cover plates over wire nutted hot/neutral serving as RF/EMI blockers. Regarding ISOCLEAN alternatives, found very little, decided to just go with Safety 1st plastic plugs regardless of static electricity buildup potential. I'll replace them with ISOCLEAN caps sometime down the line...
