Oh, it had a tremendous impact on the resulting sound. In another description of some other seller, it was described as directional and worth trying both sides to hear what suits best. I'm using two of these for my PSUs of my server/switches and endpoint (although just dirty side, clocks and...

Sorry, no (life's short and my neurosa would eventually get me :-D ). I wouldn't be surprised though if this oil fuse surpassed even my Audio Magic M-1 in many aspects (expect maybe that it possibly has somewhat softer bass), but I haven't bought / directly compared these two in a single...

I can recommend this fuse from Aucharm. Excellent fluidity, beautiful timbre and immersive atmosphere. Compared to any german fuse in the €100 region, it plays another league. Just be sure to put the right direction, as it's highly directional.

I agree cdcacosta and I could add one more mechanism of (possible) action. This is just my own speculation/deduction based on my observations, or an attempt to explain why/how crystals have effect on places where I wouldn't expect anything. We know that this all-encompassing high-frequency...

Hmm I'm not aware of any external link to his work on this, but we've exchanged around 130 emails to this day, so perhaps I can pick a quote from him from the most recent one without disclosing too much detail what he shared with me on topic of choosing the right materials and grain sizes for...

Well perhaps yes and maybe not, we simply don't know. If you ever looked at many gemstones types, you would know that some can get pretty pricey. But whatever is the cost of the raw materials, the time needed to R&D these complete mixtures in a compact package must have been pretty substantial...

Exactly, big crystals tend to impose their sound just too much on the equipment, especially on the source ones. I like to use smaller shapes just as resonators and the mentioned smoky type. Here are the links to Audiophile Rocks: his catalogue is on www.audiophile.rocks and his ebay page with...

Hey guys, seeing you're experimenting with the crystals, which is my area of interest for the last few years, I thought I would give you some of my knowledge/understanding/experience of how this thing work and how to achieve best benefits with them. Actually, what brought my interest in this...

In Europe, I see as a most plausible option at amazon.de -> 100g for €50 + shipping. I guess I could share with someone else, who is willing to take part :beyersmile: Or if anyone else knows about some other source, I'm all ear/eye.

Hats off for your contribution @cdacosta. Now I've been experimenting for over a week now with your other famous tweak - Rochelle salt on AC line. Here are my observations for all newcomers or anyone still in the process of tweaking. Probably all of this has been said before, but perhaps...

Yes, the smoky quartz coins generate very pleasing (natural) resonances, which get translated into the sound of all affected devices, mostly very beneficial. Around 10mm work well, but it's best to experiment with more dimensions for different application. Also the right choice of adhesive is...

Hey guys, been reading through majority of this thread and some others too, but still not done yet, so please forgive me if it has been discussed before. I think I'm getting the mechanism of action of the piezo-electric materials, but have you also described the mechanism or role in the...

Hey guys, check out my first DIY grounding cable for this Xangsane grounding unit. Wire: 13AWG OCC multistrand (19x0.41) in transparent PTFE, 20 cm Spade: Xangsane pure silver - rhodium plated (chosen for being very lightweight) Banana: Qyfang - rhodium as well Both solderless connections...

Hey brothers, someone in EU willing to part with the Hybrid pads ? I would like to try them with my Empys. Btw I see there was Code23 discussed and I can add from my experience that this cable has the best subbass I ever heard from my Empys. It's also a fairly resolving cable (especially for a...

Since noone has answered you yet, I will try to. Firstly, Meze doesn't make a silver cable, only silver plated copper (SPC) ones. Although I cannot comment on this particular SPC cable, I have their SPC cable for 99 Classic and had their upgrade PCUHD copper cable, so will comment on those...
