Original impression was of electrostatic setup.

Thanks @szore for sending me some to experiment with.

I wrapped it on the xlrs and one of the power cable going to the dac. I put on one side at a time while listening to music, its very subtle but the noise reduction is audible especially at the higher frequencies, noticeable improvement in separation as well. Effect is not immediate, it takes quite some time to take full effect. It has a more noticable effect on the power cable.

This is not the same material as the oyaide tape. If I try to use the oyaide tape on the power or interconnects, it flattens the sound just holding it in place without adhering it.

The base material is cloth and it looks different from the oyaide tape. Perhaps this is what permalloy looks like? I'm not sure but it doesn't seem to be sendust or at least the same recipe as the oyaide tape.

I'm not noticing any negatives with this tape so far. I'll only know for sure if I remove it but thus far, music seems livelier, better separation, less noise, treble seems to be more articulated? I'll have to do some more experiementing with it.

I think electrostat is an accurate description of what it makes it sound like.

I put the tape on my grounding box and transparency has gone through the roof!!!!!!

I also wrapped the grounding post on my transformer where I have the grounding box plugged in, big improvement in clarity!

Bass extension and sub bass rumble has significantly improved!

Taped the transformer...my system sounds amazing...mids are crystal clear...bass extension and rumble has palpably improved, airiness, yet great body and rich layering and transparency. Just a hint of warmth...

I'll be honest, I was real skeptical about this one and probably @cdacosta too.

But it works well and no negatives thus far. I put it on my dc power cable, usb cable and the grounding tube as well.

I have and am learning anything is possible. Once I see your link I will order some and give it a whirl.

This is how i put it on my fuse box...

Ordered 50mm version. So in each location you applied this shielding tape, what did you hear? Any negatives?

No negatives at all. One observation: when I put it on cables it improved more clarity and resolution. When I put it on the grounding box and transformer, it gave it a little bit of lovely warmth, and the bass extension and sub bass rumble is greatly (significantly?) improved. My system souneds perfect right now... Next will be the liquid...
I was listening to classical and it was sublime; Bach organ concertoes and Bocherini strings...the tone was engageing and natural in the midst of electrostatic-like clarity...i'm in awe right now! I'm listening to techno now, and the bass and sub bass is rattling my lungs...and thats flat with no eq...the mids are clear, no congestion at all.... on my Szalayi the mids are rich and layered and the bass is bountiful...(its in the mix). Great balance between technical precision, and warmth and engaging sound... immersive experience...

crap...the DAP and amp next? Dare I...

I have to agree thus far I'm not hearing anything negative with the application.

I'm tempted to test it out on the internals of my headphones to see what it does.

 

[dougms3]

Guess I'm gonna be rolling around on the floor with my headphones on trying to listen for a difference again, ugh I'm too old for this.

Guys, get this tape on you DAC and amp as fast as you can!!! You will be rewarded with sonic riches!!!!!
