Hi May,
I don't think the sunglass analogy holds up too well as clearly the character of the signal has been changed dramatically prior to hitting the sensors. Far more analogous to using a volume and tone control.
Anyway, I'm just butting in to mention that I've been trying your reef knot recommendations for a few weeks. You won't be surprised to hear that it does indeed seem to change the sound especially in the cable feeding the stereo from the computer, I didn't notice much effect from a passive cable tied and laying around. Tried it several times but concluded that I liked the sound better without it. Naturally I was somewhat amazed (but not surprised based upon your posts) that I heard any change. Suspecting switcher noise problems I am now running a large clamp-on ferrite bead just past the cable and that caused a small but nice improvement. I've now gotten used to that sound and will try the knot again tomorrow and see what happens. So your breath, or I guess keystrokes, weren't totally wasted.
Regards, Rick
