Copper Sleeve over IEC

Bombaywalla-man,

I LOVE your Scintillas !!

Try McMaster Carr or cruz to a local hardware store if you strike out
at Home Dumbpot or Lowesly.

Take your P/C with you and gage it on the spot, that's what I did.

You can skip the double sided tape and just use a bead of Blu tack on each side of the Body and it will slip on tight and the blu tack will just ball up underneath and keep it super solid without vibration.. also this way it is removable with a little force to slide it back off, that is if you have the correct 1.25" ID copper pipe to finish it well without it just hanging off rattling around like on that marantz video.

I use brass ac outlet cover faceplates. My power cords use steel bearing fill as a dielectric RFI shield as well as being a drain for micro-vibrations. I love that sound. I will try out the copper end shield over and near the IEC end of my power cords. As I described my power cords shielded construction, would not both ends unprotected as they are, be improved with the copper shields? I hope to find out soon. Thanks for the tip. Tom

Ozzy, Thanks a lot for the website links. Indeed it was too bad @ the local home improvement stores.

Undertow, thanks for the detailed explanation - looks like a 1-3/8" reducer to 1-1/4" will do the job. I do have a local ACE hardware store that I can try. I will take my IEC along.

Rx8man, thanks for your kind words re. the Scintillas! They sound as good as they look but need a brute of an amp to do the job. These speakers belong in the "Society for Cruelty to Amplifiers"!! ;)
Yes, I did discover McMaster-Carr. If my local ACE store does not work out, I'll order online. Thanks for the M-C suggestion.

Undertow,

Blu-Tack's a GREAT idea to take up the excess I.D. and damp.

I'm doing that on the 2 stock P/C's to the amps, thanks for the tip !
