Journeys end...?

[MartinT]

I may have to re-engineer my layout for various reasons

Good luck with that, Mike

Just popped them in:

*7 on each speaker cable
*2 on the mains lead feeding the mains conditioner
*1 on linear PSU feeding ifi
*1 on linear PSU feeding PC

The effect isn't subtle, this was what happens when I linear paid everything I could: a dramatic reduction in the noise floor, sounds like the music's got more room the breathe (and bigger lungs lol).

These are definitely keepers

I'm kinda thinking wheres all the pain with these upgrades? Apart from the money that is

[Oldpinkman]

The central problem with the conventional model is that elevating a cable from the floor with an electrical insulator creates a relative static charge differential between the cable and floor. Over a period of time this static differential can become enormous -- sometimes exceeding tens of thousands of volts.

Hmmm.....

First time I've seen bollocks spelt that way!

[realysm42]

You leave my relative static charge... differential alone!

[Oldpinkman]

I don't mean to rain on your parade. I'm pleased they were money well spent for you. I won't even question the burnin or challenge the vfm of the cable. I will as a question of fact , showing myself as a tedious pedant, promise you they don't extend the bass by two octaves. Or one octave, or a minor 2nd.

[realysm42]

Were talking about two different things I think.

But I understand what you're saying. Okay, bass is 'better' lol.

Good luck with that, Mike

Lots and lots of thinking which usually ends in
"can't do that"
At least now I'm settled I can look at permanent fixes.

Wow. Another odd one
Money usually is the way to upgrades, better than spending and no upgrade of course

Agreed - a total load of "technobollocks". And since when could a static field or signal modulate anything?

But just wait until those cable supports have 'burnt in'!

I'm not going to try to explain how they work as I frankly haven't a clue but they are excellent, there's a market for them and I'd be getting rid of them sharpish if they weren't effective.

I've taken punts on things before and they didn't work out for me, for example, the Townshend super tweeter, I tried and tried and was never sure if they helped. At their price (even second hand, which mine were) "might help" isn't good enough, so off they went.
