AA's unclestu owns Honolulu's Audio Direction Ltd. In the summer of 1990, I visited his store, then located underground on Waialae, not far from the Palolo McDonald's. Even though I was a penniless college kid, Stu graciously demonstrated for me, the effects of Tonecones. I obvously could not afford CJ, Quicksilver, and Vandersteen. I ended up buying some AQ Sorbothane products, which worked wonders under my Sony Discmen.
The next summer, I returned to ADL, and Stu showed off the Simms Navcom Silencers. Though a little more expensive than the AQ CD Feet, the Navcom Silencers did a better job (less high-frequency roll-off), when used under my Adcom gear.
I didn't return to Honolulu, until the mid-90s. By then, I think ADL had moved to Algaroba, not far from Waiola Shave Ice and the McCully Zippy's. It was there, where I saw Stu (a) install MIT Z-cords on Conrad-Johnson components (which, at the time, had fixed powercords), and (b) puff up Kimber speaker cables. Doing so places the conductors closer to 90-degrees to each other.
I'm not going to step on Stu's toes. You can search Cable Asylum, for his numerous posts on this subject matter. You can also go to the ADL website, and find his tips on puffing up Kimber speaker cables.
