I just tried this on both ends my Shunyata Python CX from the Acoustic Revive RTP-2 to the Krell SACD Standard Mk. III. Astonishing! Much quieter and cleaner sound, nothing exaggerated, just smooth, deep, and flowing. Got the copper sleeves from Handy Tru-Value. The 1 1/2 " diameter sleeve perfectly fits the Shunyata ($5.99 each). I couldn't resist, and fitted out the Audience PowerChords on my Home Theater as well - another perfect fit (Oppo, Samsung Plasma, Emotiva Pre-Pro). Fabulous results, and no downsides. Thanks the the original poster and the early enthusiasts. Really worthwhile improvement.
