Spare change on a speaker cabinet

totem beaks are sold to do the same thing....only they are more than 37 cents.

You have to use special Audiophile pennies (called AuraPennies), which are actually made in China - though they ARE designed in the U.S. Depending on the room size, you need between 6 and 12 pairs.

They list for $34.56 per pair (regular), while the Cryo treated go for $45.67, but can be found on Ebay for less. Be careful though - these things look EXACTLY like regular pennies, so you could be burned by unscrupulous Ebay sellers. I'm also told they can lose their effectiveness if shipped improperly. Better to pay the premium at your local AuraPenny dealer, since they will stand behind their product.

There are also silver AuraQuarters for quite a bit more $$$ money. I'm told they can be too bright sounding with SS equipment but may be suitable for tube/horn systems - though balancing them on the horns is best left to an expert.

Also, keep in mind that they require a significant "burn-in" period before your wife will be convinced that the money was well spent.

"John, I can't tell if you are kidding or serious..."

You really can't tell if he is kidding? Oh, my....

Spare change is all I have left over after buying this stuff, now I know where to put my savings.

Hi,hate to tell you guys but this is a method of resonance distribution and its effects can clearly be heard.I've experimented with numerous devices (washers,cones,cone bases,Totem Beaks,different materials:brass,lead,steel,aluminum,etc.)on various positions on top of my Vandersteen 3A's with amazing results.You can tune your speakers to your liking if you're willing to experiment and invest your time.Downside is you can go brain dead trying various combinations.I've settled on a combination for my speakers,and I'll never remove the devices.Those who have visited my room,have also easily heard the differences.Try a quarter in each front corner with a dime centered between them as a starting point and go from there.For additional details email me with the speakers you're using.
