Let me explain myself

I don't want to be a jerk about this tweak. It is one tweak that might work well, etc. The silver filament is one reason, as it is much more conductive than the usual tin or copper, The gold plated ends are slightly more conductive than tin also.
I think I've tried most of tweaks that have passed my way since 1972. I could have saved a lot of money had I known that some would not produce the claimed benefits.
I got a degree in EE and many classmates thought I was off the wall when I asked the professors to explain the mechanisms behind some of the tweaks. My senior project was an amplifier clipping detector. So many speakers then suffered blown tweeters. They could not handle any power and Ferrofluid was new in 1977. My project was not understood or well-received. I got an A for that one though. But being an audiophile in a class full of computer hackers was not fun!
I feel that I have to counter at least of the dubious claims made by the so-called snake oil salesmen. I hate seeing young people get taken. I can understand it, however. Components cost a lot now and so many people who cannot afford new gear look for sonic improvements from budget tweaks.
Science can explain a lot, but not everything is explainable by science. That's why I always say:

If you can hear it, it's real
