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?

Tbg, I think Sabledog is refering to the fact that he can tell the improvement, its not one of those things that you have to convince yourself that there may be an improvement.

What I have noticed is a tightening of the bass and a clearer defined soundstage.

That being said, some posters have stated no improvement and one said it made the treble glare.

The point Sabledog and myself are making is that for a very minimal cost you can experience if the copper sleeve is an improvement for your equipment.
Ozzy, I know Sabledog likes the couplers. It is his crack about voodoo that I am curious about. Does he "understand" why the couplers work in his system and not mine? There is much about this hobby that is just trial and error.
Do a search for ferrite tubes or clamps. These have been used on AC cords, ICs, inside components where the IEC wires enter a component, etc. Same concept.
On Cd's players use two copper sleeves, one on each end of the power cord, your jaw will drop, in fact use two on the male and one on the IEC end. There will be no going back.
Unless you use a charged pc. I get no effect whatsoever with the Syn. Res. Hologram D pc.
