Whooooa... That page seriously took me back to 1995.

iPodPJ, be careful with those tin foil modifications... Soon enough, you'll be hearing night and day differences with ERS paper. Then comes the too extreme tweaking.

Such as a tin foil hat to improve headphone dynamics, & block unwanted vibrations. :Þ

Wow. Check out the VD Wikipedia article.

LOL. I knew that would be said sooner or later. What actually got me to make the post when I did was when Markl said the words "tinfoil hat conspiracy nut" so then I figured what the hell. I was going to wait until tomorrow but why hold out when so many of you could try the mod tonight and see how it works for you.

I won't open my equipment and go that far. But I do remember the pictures of his cables wrapped in ERS paper. These tinfoil modded ones look just as funny. It looks like I have a wrapped Dodger Dog connecting my tranport to my amp. The only thing I would put inside my amp possibly would be a hi-fi fuse, but that's it. I won't do anything that voids a warranty.

Now try the tinfoil mod!!!! If your cables are easy to get to, it will take you 5 - 10 minutes to do this. If you hear no difference, it will take you 2 minutes to undo it.

I have no idea what kind of difference it will make with a digital interconnect sans magnet since I haven't tried it on my Cobalt yet. But if you do have a VD digital interconnect with magnets, I am almost positive you will hear as much of a difference in your own system. I also have no idea what kind of difference it will make with your analog connections. And I'm not sure if it's doing much of anything on the power cord. But the digital cable tinfoil mod is going to be the latest craze!

Someone should volunteer to take this cable in, replace the wire and connectors with top quality units, refill the tube with a non-conductive material (I would feel much safer), and send it to someone who has a 6th Anniversary Power 3 for review (I would actually like to send it to Markl, I believe he would be the best candidate for neutrality).

I think there are a few proponents of VD cables here who could give an unbiased review. If I happen into any extra money anytime soon, I will order some parts and whip up this tasty acoustic delight myself.

This post is entirely serious. Please don't rip this post apart.

Try grounding the tinfoil and see what happens. Not joking; if the foil is picking up EMI, grounding it might lead to further changes. Shouldn't hurt anything, either.

Err... If you replace all of those components, what's left? The tube?
