What do we think is being done with the copper around the IEC? I bought a leakage meter, and found that I had none before and after I installed copper around this connection. I heard nothing either.
TBG, There is defiantly a difference with using the copper sleeve. I cant believe you can't detect it with all of your expensive equipment. I would say it is providing a shield around the IEC similar to what Furutech or Oyaide does with there Hi End power/IEC's that utilize aluminum and carbon fiber. Perhaps with the magnetism from your HI Fidelity cables it is minimizing the effect.
But, I sometimes think with the copper sleeve over the IEC it accents the treble a little too much.
Ozzy, Thank you very much for this tweak. Bought several from Lowes Hardware and Wow. Smoother more relaxed sound, without sacrificing detail and even improved overall soundstage a little. Used on iec at power cond. ,both ends of CD power cord , power supply of pre-amp, and iec of phono pre-amp. Also opening and closing your CD tray twice before playing made a significant difference (apparently improves reading of disc).
