Audio Tweak gone bad...similar experiences?


Hello,

As I said in a post earlier this morning, my right channel of my Classe DAC-1 has stopped working...I think I know what happened. I found a penny and placed it on top of my right channel speaker in hopes to "improve" the sound...Something that I was inspired by after reading some of the posts on Clever Little Clock. Got myself an atomic clock in my listening room which seems to help, so I was wondering if other things would help as well...Come to find out I think that the penny ruined my DAC! I have no other explanation for it other than that, so DAMN, that will be the last time I try that!

Peace,
Ben

Cdc, With all due respect I must strongly disagree with your premise. He was using the penny on top of his right speaker. Last time I checked speakers are still an analog device. Though some times called digital ready, confusing.....

Any way after spending several hour into the late night hours, rereading Bearotti's post over and over looking for a clue to what possibly could of caused the right channel of his DAc to go out, it hit me.

He found a penny!!!
Heads up? Or tails up? Everybody knows you never pick up a penny that is tails up, It is bad luck....

I use a silver dollar. It sounds about 5% better than a penny. I would like to mention that people have pointed out the diminishing return for my investment. I point out to them that I have had it 20 years. Many items have come and gone in my system. The silver dollar just keeps going strong!

To hell with all you naysayer.
I put ALL my pennies in ceramic piggy banks, then carefully locate each piggy bank on top of the speaker, sounds great, but terrible *HAF*

FWIW : I use Blue Tac under each hoof.
