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?

"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."

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.
Rhyno, Thanks for the link. By the way, I think it costs $1100.
I also think it doesnt cover the IEC enough.
But that will be changed in the Mark 2 version.

Nasaman, I want a cut from your profits for the
"review of this tweak under my new company's name: "NasaMan",
One final thought.

Please be careful when adding too many of the copper sleeves to ones system. I own a Synergistic Research PowerCell 10 SE. Everything is plugged into this powercell. Including all my Audio, Video, Home theater, etc.

I have found that a copper sleeve on the CD player IEC is a very good improvement. But, when I continued to add more throughout while keeping everything plugged into the powercell the sound dulled, especially in the high frequencies .

So, experiment, have fun, and lets hope the Economy comes back soon.
Also, after today experiment,I want to confirm that this copper tweak WILL NOT work on Ayre D1xe DVD player. The video will be blacked-out. Confirmed.
Note: Ayre D1-xe equipt with seperate power supply.
