Tweeky's system by his own admission uses a Brick Wall Surge Suppressor, see https://www.brickwall.com/pages/how-it-works
This contains a large inductor. Most of us are not silly enough to add inductance to our power lines like this. Even fairly small inductors have a detrimental effect on SQ in my experience.
But this might explain why he needs these 10uF caps across the line, to try to take away some of the negative effects of the inductive line supply. Kludge upon kludge.

Yo Toxic, if by Tweeky you think you are talking about me you are mistaken. All I use is capacitors across the AC line. I have no brick wall filter and use no inductors. There is at least one other person with a similar name that you may have confused me with. And that's Tweaker456 to you!

You are the same person right?
These were the comments by the person who wrote " The Great Capacitor Shootout" as stated in the Subject and previously discussed. So no, I am not the same person. If you somehow think that the brick wall filter he used before the cap test nullifies mine and others position I do have a suggestion. Try it out for yourself then come and tell me I'm full of crap. Then at least I could then come back and tell you that you are deaf. Game Bo? We could then both die happy. And another thing. I would say that that supports my position. The improved sound even after another filter according to him. Even after a so called brick wall. Looks like those EMIs are like cockroaches. I myself don't like those guys hanging around my ac. Just sayin'. T456

Hard to tell where your quoting ends and your ranting starts.
None of it was my "ranting". It was 100% from "The Great Cap Shootout" except my standard Borg message. So, I guess your last useful comment means that you are going to try it. Great. Let us know what a useless tweak it was. Am I in the Tweaker's Assylum or the Twilight Zone? Soon I think we are going to reach the Outer Limits of stupidity.
