Tweakers' Asylum Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ. |

Finally tried this tweak on my CDP PC and, yes, smoother sound there is. I suppose one could tamp the tape down a bit more...
Photos show tape on prongs after the plug has been inserted and removed for pix.
Need to try it on my two main PCs (one to amp, one to Duet) when I have the energy to deal with their incredibly ridiculous and inconvenient placement.
Results on just the CDP PC indicate it will be worth the effort.
Thanks to Norm, HiFisoundguy, and especially Al Sekela for sharing!![]()

- I guess this would be plug dependent. Some interaction between a vibrating plug & blades may be happening. - Norm 20:06:12 09/15/09 (4)
- my best guess... - dave c 20:18:20 09/15/09 (3)
