That you had. I couldn't believe that a simple loop of wire could make any kind of difference at all. And then, being an old man, I remembered the extra wire running in the ground path of the Tara Lab's Space and Time cable. And then I remembered that the Kimber PBJ has two ground wires and only one hot lead......Bud has speculated that the surface of the wires in the loop contributes more electrons to the circuit, hence his recommendation of the use of Litz wire. I couldn't find my litz, so I used four inch wide copper foil tape. That worked quite well although a bit cumbersome. I also used Cardas hook up wire, which is a litz type although the gauges are different. That also worked extremely well, although I am not sure if that was due to the fact that Cardas used better copper.
I certainly believe that Bud Purvine's tweak and the simple fact that it works, opens up a new field and era in audio ( and electronics, for that matter).
Incidentally , have you tried it on your video gear? It is particularly effective on the source material, DVD players and thier ilk, as well as cable boxes. My DVD/SACD player is often mistaken for being a blue ray machine or my conventional 1080 P plasma for a three D set.
I often use the TV set for testing as what you can see often translates to audio, but is sometimes easier to notice on video.
Again, YMMV
