Simple fix for cable microphonics

Can't get much simpler:



This is pretty effective on those horrible silk covered cables that AT and Sony use.

WARNING: do NOT pull the knot too tight or you will damage the cable.

This won't kill all of the vibrations transmitted by the cable, but it reduces them 80% (estimate). The mechanism is complex, and I don't know all of it. Suffice it to say that it is a loss mechanism.

More elaborate knots may work better. I leave that investigation to the reader.

Have fun!

Nice trick.

I would never do that with my headphones. I would probably step on my cord by mistake.

I don't think I could even tie a knot with my Zu Mobius HD600 cable if I tried.
