Dosn't it bother you that the ERS paper doesn't even stop a weak little remote control beam? A moderately thick tshirt will stop most remote controls, and I sure wouldn't trust a tshirt to protect my audio rig from interference!

I think you need to reconsider your ESR paper setup. If it cannot stop a lowly remote control then you clearly need more extreme interference tweakage

edit: have you considered a farday cage?

T-shirts aren't conductive so I can't see why it would stop EMI better than ERS Paper no matter how many t-shirts you use.

Wrapping 50cm of Valhalla cable with ERS Paper gives huge improvements, I don't care how little EMI it stops. 1-2 layers is good enough.

I don't have anywhere to ground the Faraday cage. A year ago I dreamt of a mile long Valkyrja cable running into the forest. I don't want the EMI to be grounded near my audio system...

Passive shielding with ERS Paper is great, it doesn't infect the ground wiring with noise.

Holy Crap. I just watched Patrick's extreme tweaking vids on youtube.

"Oh my God. Cables... Everything wrapped... Damn it's hard to breathe... I'm stuck. Bass is crazy now. Yes... Yes."

They are extreme.

Patrick, what is the source of all that ambient noise on your video?

It is motor noise from the digital video camera. It was the first model JVC released.

I have lot of stuff I have planned to do for my amp and DAC, but I don't hear anything wrong anymore so I don't need to do those tweaks anymore. The problems I'm hearing now is with the computer transport.

although I'm in favour of different opinions on the forum, the real problem with patrick is that he posts OFF TOPIC. This is the Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories Forum. NOT the Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories and Stories About Your Trips Overseas With A Short Paragraph About A Tweak Stuck On The End Forum. If his post started with "when i was 12 i went to turkey and bought a stone for $30. I found it in my cupboard last week and decided to stick it on my audio system, and the changes were as follows..." i'd be fine with it. It's incredibly annoying to have to read through a massive story before i can hear about the tweak, when i'm reading the tweak forum. If I wanted to hear holiday stories I'd go to the "members lounge". His post is 1472 words long. 52 words are about a tweak, 1420 are off topic. I'm all for the banning of members who start massive off topic threads. If you want to post a "funny" story about a holiday then post in the members lounge, not the cables and tweaks forum some people think he's an asset to the community because they find him entertaining and that's fine by me; but all the treads that he makes for the sole purpose of getting laughs belong in the members lounge, not the cables and tweaks forum. If I want to have a laugh I go to the members lounge. I come to the cables and tweaks forum to learn about cables and tweaks, and patrick is making that very difficult by polluting the forum with his silly holiday stories

In your comment there are exactly ZERO words about cables and tweaks. I think Patricks posts are highly entertaining and the topic of this thread is the tweak, NOT the trip.

Back to topic?

Unfortunately, the thread itself is still off topic so it has no place in this forum; but that is the responsibility of the original poster, not each replier. my post was 278 words long, and 278 words on topic to the thread. patrick's original post is still 1472 words long with 1420 words off topic to the forum

and i repeat - an off topic reply to an off topic thread/post is ON topic if the reply is about the thread/post

of course not. but any hole big enough to let light through would potentially let a lot of RF through, right? to my understanding the holes need to be pretty small to keep RF out

not that it matters. patrick answered this as sufficiently as it needs to be answered by saying that it sounds right to him as it is. i dont know enough about ESR paper (make that "i dont know anything about ESR paper") to call him out on any technical aspects of it, so if he's convinced that the sound is right with the holes in it then i'll leave it at that

How can a thread be off-topic? I guess it's up to the OP what the topic of the thread is.

Maybe he chose to cut out a little box near the infrared receiver... I remember places where the ers paper was cut and stuff. Remember there are also as much or even more paper on the inside oh those contraptions so I'm pretty sure theres no ground left fallow.

Why do you think I put some paper outside? Because I didn't fit anymore inside!

Uh, duh?

See how this forum is the "Cables, Power, Tweaks, Speakers, Accessories" forum? if someone posts a thread about, for example, a holiday... it's off topic.

if someone posts a thread about amps in the headphones forum, its off topic. if someone posts a thread about pretty girls in the amp forum, it's off topic
