Audio Tweak gone bad...similar experiences?


Hello,

As I said in a post earlier this morning, my right channel of my Classe DAC-1 has stopped working...I think I know what happened. I found a penny and placed it on top of my right channel speaker in hopes to "improve" the sound...Something that I was inspired by after reading some of the posts on Clever Little Clock. Got myself an atomic clock in my listening room which seems to help, so I was wondering if other things would help as well...Come to find out I think that the penny ruined my DAC! I have no other explanation for it other than that, so DAMN, that will be the last time I try that!

Peace,
Ben

I use the steel pennies from the 40s. They seem to work best but have to be alternated heads up and heads down. Also, a piece of eight can work very well but only if it has been under sea water for at least 200 years. But actually, a doubloon is best if you can afford it. Cheers!
I'm wondering why no one has touted the benefit of a bowl of linguine placed right above the amp transformer? Seems to absorb spurious electrical charges until the mold sets in. And no, rigatoni does not work as well! The sauce does matter though. White clam sauce seems to work best.
