Copper Sleeve over IEC


There has been several threads on AA about putting a 1 1/2" copper union (coupler) over the IEC on the CD Player, Preamp, Amp.

Well I tried it...

Anyone else give it a try?

Swinfrey, Sometimes too many of them will dull the sound. But, do try them everywhere.

Great results with a single Super Sleeve!

I "stretched " a 3.25" copper sleeve so that it became
oval.  It could now encircle both plugs on a single
wall outlet.

One plug on a dedicated line (SR black outlet) contains the cord
to a SR Powercell 12 and a High Fidelity 0.5 magnetic wave guide.
I used 3 small cork rectangles: one in between the plugs
and the others between the plugs and the body of
the sleeve (top and bottom).   There is an additional sleeve over the SR cord, that is easily fitting inside the Super Sleeve.

I recently treated the wires of the outlet with Total Contact,
and applied it to the face of the outlet, and the outlet cover.

I am hearing a more relaxed, natural presentation
of music, with no fatigue.  Highly recommended.
sgordon1,

Thanks for resurrecting this old thread.
As I ended up purchasing better power cords and/or added Furutech NCF fittings I found that the copper sleeve is no longer necessary. But for those power cords still using plastic type fittings the copper sleeve just might make that great improvement.
Anyway you can post a picture of the final result?

Ozzy, just try it!

(The $3495 SR cord  is no slouch, material-wise...)

How many times have you been pleasantly
surprised by experimenting?
Conversely, has a "sure thing" ever disappointed?
sgordon1,

So are you saying to try the copper sleeve over the Furutech NCF?
I am a little confused about the super sleeve and the cork.
Can you post a picture on your system page?
