For what it's worth, I've gotten very good results using 1 gram and .5 gram of Rochelle salt in each duplex application. This equates to 1.3 grams and .8 grams respectively when the bag weight of .3 gram is added. I've also mounted both bags vertically. Just used a single 1 gram bag (1.3 gram total) mounted vertically at single switch plates. All I can say is that there appears to be more than one way to tune one's system in regard to this tweak.

I have done the same as Mick - 1.0 and 0.5 grams of salt in the bags.
Do the lesser amounts you are using make a significant difference?

  So long as you tuned after each junction you installed you are good. Many just install several at a time and do not tune/adjust by ear as they install at a junction. The lower amounts are helpful for those that do not follow instructions. LOL
  
  How is the tweak working for you? Did you treat your whole home or?

I agree. I have to look, I think I noted the effect and provided a pic of the ground side also being installed vertical on junction plate. This does effect system presentation.

  Yes, I revisited all my switch plates this morning and added a .5 gram bag mounted horizontally as shown in the link. So my baseline remains as stated earlier....1 gram and .5 gram of Rochelle salt with bags mounted vertically in the duplex plate. Same with the switch plate only the .5 gram bag is mounted horizontally as shown in the link. As stated earlier, these are weights of the salt. The weights with the bag are 1.3 grams and .8 grams. Regardless, this tweak is truly a great find, but it will be up each individual to tune to a level that sounds best. It's probably safe to say that the 1 gram/.5 gram formula is probably the maximum amount of Rochelle salt one would want to start with. Trim the amount of salt from that point if the effect seems to be taking things in the wrong direction.
  - I agree about the tuning and am glad you like the tweak... N/T - cdc 12:23:03 12/18/23 (2)

        Probably better I just post it separately. Super easy 5 mins max per power cord tweak. Will upgrade performance of almost all power cords, headphone cables and SMPS.
        
        Happy Holidays!
