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?

WOw, I just realize that the Zu brand is using the same concept.

Nasaman Note on Page one of this thread I stated that Zu is already doing it yes.
Couple of maufacturers have been using steel or brass microbearing fill in their cables for vibration control as well as for shielding purposes for many years. Starsound being the first that I know of and then Virtual Dynamics. Tom
This is a great tweak that works. I have tweaked the tweak. Before I plug the IEC end of the powercord with the copper coupler on it. I cut a 1 inch strip of Teflon plumbers tape and put it on top of my IEC plug where the three prongs slide in the unit. There is always a space there. If you put the Teflon tape on the outer housing of your IEC plug and not directly on the three prong plug you will fall way short of the best results. In MY system there is an increase in blackness and dynamics to go with the smoothness that the copper coupler brings. Of course make sure the copper coupler is touching the chassis of your unit. Great tweak that works on my Power Amp and Digital player. Will try it on my preamp next.
