In Reply to: RE: Coming soon! - how to make a reef knot device. With photos. Nt posted by geoffkait on February 04, 2013 at 05:09:47
Earlier I asked where should one put one of these things. No consensus emerged so I experimented. First off these reef knots do Make a difference...sometimes a very big difference IMO. I did not try on signal carrying cables just power cables. The 1st biggest change was on my Logan power supply cords. Strange to me because these cords carry very little current but the voltage is significantly stepped up in the monolith internal power supples. But here the sonics (above 125 hz) were tremendously clarified...clearer, purer just right for me. The other place was on my p24 power supply to my pc motherboard, let me explain that I have pi filters all over the p24 wires. So I bunched 2 large groups of wires, banded them with copper tape and connected a reef knot with alligators. Again tremendous improvement in across the board clarity. I need to get more alligators to continue this quest but so far so good. Any other experiments with 'where to put them' by other inmates? If so please share. Other places I tried it seem to dry up the music too much. So after initial up uphoria I eventually retreated.
I still don't understand the 'how it works' but really it doesn't matter ... It does affect the sound. Uncle Stu where do you get these strange, wonderful ideas?

Just for the record, i am the author of this Reef Knot Device thread. I think you'll find Unc Stu is not quite on board this particular tweak and is still a little bit confused about it. Thanks for the sentiment, anyway.
As I have already mentioned, you'll find the RKD works on ANY cable or cord equally well - floor lamp electrical cords, air purifier electrical cord, PC cords, including mouse cable, TV cables, cable box cords, refrigerator cord, etc. You can treat two adjacent cables with one RKD by attaching one 'gator clip to one cable and the other 'gator clip to the second cable.
Significant improvements to SQ can be obtained by using the Reef Knot Device in other rooms of the house. Make sure each Reef Knot is tied properly - I.e., not a Granny Knot. Do not use more than one Reef Knot per cable and not more than one RKD when connecting two cables.
Cheers

Sorry Geoff, kudos to you. But where do you get the ideas?
Theob, as I stated earlier the original idea for the Reef Knot in audio applications is the domain of PWB Electronics, I.e., Peter Belt. The Reef Knot is one of the free tweaks described on the PWB Electronics web site.
Thanks again. As additional follow-up I applied the rkd (reef knot device) to interconnects out of my dac , to ic's out of my crossover to my amps and it was finally balanced in a way I did not achieve before. Always had trouble with the bass being either overly tight or too loose. Now it is tight, weighty, clear and airy. The biggest thing though is the sound stage and the dynamics both ffff and pppp. Very very nice. All I can recommend is keep trying different locations for the rkd, your experimentation will pay off.
