Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

solid core DIY wraps

I tried this with solid core 10AWG wire on my captive power cords to no appreciable effect at all. Oddly, I DID get an improvement on my coaxial FM antenna feed! That suggests that it acts in an antenna or RFI capacity somehow.

Was disappointed that I couldn't do a cheapy fix on the AC lines, however. At the time and with some suggestion from other inmates and some further reading, it appeared that standard copper solid core was no more an attractant for RFI than the copper stranded AC cords; reading suggested something like nickel could be 10 - 100 times as attractive to RFI. I did not have any source of that metal to test it out, however.

Knowing Leisure7's setup, I am encouraged to try the commercial Power Wraps in my system. Sometimes you just gotta pay to play...
