Me first: Back years and years ago, a fella quoted in Stereophile, lived in ? Belgium.. Wrote about adding antistatic foam to digital devices to improve the sound. The idea was to stop all the nasty IRF generated INSIDE the box by sucking it up with the conductive foam. I did this tweak to my DAC.. Years ago. and still use that DAC. ======================================================================== The second tweak also came from the pages of Stereophile. A guy was experimenting with alternate Hz on the AC line. Apparently the 60Hz is just what happens to be used. And no reason to avoid using alternate Hz (except for turntable motors). So I use the PS Audio regenerator at 110Hz instead of 60Hz just for my digital components. (Since a regenerator uses a lot of power, I only want to use it on as few as possible.. Thus the digital only allow the PS Audio to idle away with an easy life.. And since it is irreplaceable..) I do not know why no one offers such a device at all anymore? Is it just a too obscure tweak??? The one downside I found was one component (Behringer DEQ2496) which did not get better. I think because it has a digital (class d like) power supply. And the higher frequency AC just does not play well. Not breaking it. just not being better, in fact slightly worse sounding. ======================================================================== Those are my two totally obscure tweaks.. You got any everyone seems to have forgotten? |

We have seen the bulb last from well over 5,000 treatments to double that! |

I tried it a few years ago.. No change. Maybe I will try it again with my new IC? nt, posted on October 10, 2016 at 16:16:54 | |
