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?

"He refused to even try the copper fitting, because he believed it would not do anything."

Lol, and that's why he has the "well engineered" factory power cord. Just a while back, people did not believe the earth was rounded like an orange, and they thought that....

Fact, just about 2 to 3 years ago, I thought that high end components were over rated and designed for people with too much money in their hands. Any thing costed more than my Harman Kardon AVR and $79 Sony DVD were just ... too much. Especially telling me a $200 interconnect could improved my system? C'mon get a life. That was such an insult my intelligent.... Thank you Lord, I have an open mind and the passion for this hobby.
Nasaman, Amen to that.

I have found that many items once thought to be just Hi-End Tweaky stuff (such as power cords, interconnects, speaker cable, isloation devices, dedicated circuits, and power conditioners ) do something, even if it is just a 1-30% improvement.
It comes down to how much is that improvement worth in performance compared to the cost of the item.

That why I think the copper sleeve is such a great thing. Improvement with little financial outlay.
Ozzy,

If the copper coupler had an "audiophile" name on it with a $500.00 price, he'd put-em on his cord(s) w/o question.

Only a matter of time before manufacturers catch on, I can almost
hold my breath to find out when.

If StereoPhile magazine agrees to test and write a full review for this tweak under my new company's name: "NasaMan", I'd probably get rich and quite my day job.
Humm, not a bad idea!!! Wondering how much StereoPhile's prices?

Rhyno,
Great finding. ..Did you jsut create that site? j/k
Wow, they are pretty hefty /thick. But, unless that extra thickness already compensate it, otherwise I think thye need to extend the length to fully cover the IEC. Anyways, with those pieces from the website above, our local untrusted friends may now have no doubt that they actually work. Can you imagine if Furutech or Cardas or even Nordost come out with alikes... this thread will def be extending to couple pages more. Lol.
