Unfortunately this is not a group about engineering or physics most people here seem to be interested in the hobby more than the engineering principles. Sad people who love listening to music so much have such low regard for the foundation of their hobby.
Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil.
Ok..not sure other people have done what I tried recently but I’ve found a night and day difference in sound quality after I wrapped my tube power amp power cord (rogue Zeus) and my cheap audio quest interconnect cables with copper foil. I even wrapped by phono cable coming out of my turntable to phono pre-amp. The detail retrieval and pin drop silence after doing this has made by jaw drop. Cost was $40 worth of foil wrap. What do you audiophiles think? Have I changed the sound signature in a negative way somehow?

@donavabdear Neville Shute (Norway) said that an engineer was somebody who could do for 10 bob what others could do for a quid. In other words, provide very cost-effective solutions. Understanding some basic physics would save some hobbyists thousands, if not tens of thousands, in my opinion. I am not sure if you meant "Sad people" or "Sad, people ..." or even what you meant by "the foundation of their hobby". Taking out the double negatives from "Unfortunately this is not a group about engineering" gives "Fortunately this is a group about engineering" but I suspect you meant the opposite! |
Acoustics include psycho-acoustics and is not what is usually discussed in audio thread : room panels...And audio journey include also musical knowledge ... Myself i lamented about how people experiment so little with the ground root of their hobby , not engineering, sorry but acoustics. not branded name of tubes or digital gear but the link between gear-speakers/room/brain-ears...
Most Engineers in all fields as the average men buy a piece of gear and called this audio if they had bought the best reviewed product; they are only divided between the value of measures versus how they feel after listening ... This is what people called audio journey .... Not me and some others more enlightened one ... Acoustics experiments is the core not only of audio experience but of the musical and sound understanding.
