Could this be even more significant than the Valhalla?

Reasonable enough.

I like how they don't even bother coming up with some faux technological bull to explain why they work. It's just "Audiophile Duplex Covers! They work, trust us, buy them!"

I ordered a dozen.

It's a joke.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It's resonance. Screws should never be tight because it transfers vibrations to the power cords easier. I don't use screws, I have the AC outlet taped to the wall instead.

Patrick, I'm starting to believe that you're a committed skeptic assigned by the skeptics camp to work "undercover" in the believers camp and to post outlandish statements to undermine our efforts to make our positions regarding cables and other tweaks seem reasonable.

I'm a skeptic and it was my plan to go undercover. People would have believed if the biggest believer suddenly says cables don't make a difference... But the plan failed since I found the truth. Most tweaks make a difference.

You just say that to save your cover!

it dosnt matter, the line from the power substation isnt wired in valhalla cable.

i predict no gains because the system before it is inherently flawwed. sort of like putting a valla cable after an opamp YUCKY.

Patrick82, I noticed the paper taped to your (I think) amp and source there. Is that for room reflections, or is there another reason it's there?

Nordost should make the valhalla generator for a pure AC sine wave. It would prob be worth them making special audio grade petrol for it too.

Nordost should move their HQ in Patrick block, this way they could reduce the handling cost and maybe they would give their sole client a 6$ rebate!!! Oh and by moving there they would certainly love the Machina Dynamica installed all around the house.

That's ERS paper. Patrick started an excellent thread about it and even posted a couple of YouTube videos. The picture is old though... he uses a lot more ERS paper in his rig now.
