Torq, do it while you are listening, you can turn your back. So you can hear the degradation and then the rejuvenation. It is that noticeable.

Good synergy question Andrew. It sounds awesome on the HD650's too.

Awesome. So they're pretty universal in making rigs sound good.

Piezoelectric effect does not care what gear you have........ Just sayin'

I'll have to try it both ways ...
 
Just to satisfy myself it's not just an expectation bias thing.  
 
I might be paranoid, but that does not mean they're not out to get me!

Torq I do have one mod you don't. The one one the headphone cable. To me that one makes the biggest difference.

So Akiko sticks can have a negative effect as well? Maybe something I need to try at a meet, they're interesting gizmos to say the least.

Is that the universal one that just straps onto the cable with velcro/zip-ties?

This one has the RCA connector removed and has a spade connector instead. And is connected to the TRS.

What's part of the TRS is it connected to?  The ground line?
 
Only asking so I can have a play myself ... after getting the new amp in, and researching tubes, I'm feeling all "tweaky" again.

Some pictures would be nice if that's possible of the connections please BP

  I'm clearing out a lot of my gear, and likely selling some of the big items soon too. Anyhow. those who might be interested, check some of my classifieds.
 
my modified Audio-Gd DIU8 is for sale with either NDK or crysteks
intona industrial version
less loss firewall with oyaide c-079
hdmi cables for the diu8/i2s
a teddy pardo 5v/3A linear psu 
paul pang v3 ocxo usb 3.0 pcie card with 2.5mm dc inlet option
 
likely selling some more stuff once I decide.

I'm contemplating taking the LessLoss Firewall off your hands ... will let you know before the end of the week (don't hold it on my account if you get another offer).
 
Are you moving a way from using USB and DDCs or have you just settled on a setup you like (feel free to tell me to bugger off if it's none of my business)?

Me being mean with money and cobbling not half understood information together..

If piezoelectric effects are a 2 way street. Stress creates a current... current coverts energy through movement.

If that is the case..what would a cheap ultrasonic transducer do if placed in line or parallel to the ground plane?

I was thinking of encasing it in silicon window sealant so it doesn't doesn't create a voltage.. and using the ground to convert signal noise/current to sound/ transducer movement to energy. Ect... If that makes sense. ..

Just my silly mind working...

I did ask an engineer... He did mention that an unwanted parasitic resonance could occur. So mechanical damping with the silicon sealer..????
