Look for posts by B. Purvine, then follow-ups. I know this is a lot to read through, but it's highly informative, and later you'll see illustrations and read about various ways to use this tweak. You can skip the theoretical speculations and just zero in on the construction technique posts.

I do not pretend that this is easy, nor that it is better than the commercially produced ones.

But it is extremely easy to test the concept using just some zip cord, as suggested in this thread. If that works, then making up a real set is worth the effort. Took me about an hour or two to do the set of 10 for my system.

I had to: buy the right Litz wire, cut to 6" lengths, strip the insulation from both ends of each strip using a candle to burn it off and a Dremel to sand off the residue (not easy!), then heat shrink as described and cut the tubing afterwards, then solder to my desired terminations (YMMV in this case). So it's a multi-step process but not complicated once you see the pix.

Works within 20 minutes and improves as it burns in.

I use them on both speakers, sub, amp, DAC, CDP. The more the merrier!
