(1) Clean all your connections with the best contact cleaner/enhancer on the market!.....Crystal Clear contact cleaner/enhancer $$$25 from www.thecablepro.com (2) Put a little Teflon Tape from Wal-Mart on all your AC plug's prongs! ( Take about 3 inches of teflon tape and wrape it around each ac plug prong and then push them all the way up the prongs )
What does putting teflon tape on the ac prongs do? It cleans up that very dirty ac power a little.....I also put teflon tape on all my inside wiring in all my gear...my TV too.
I put some teflon tape on the center pin on my cable from my dish to my satellite receiver....(You take about 2 inches of tape and put a small hole with a paper clip at one end and put that end through the center pin of the cable and then use the paper clip to work the teflon tape around the center pin tightly and then push the teflon tape all the way up to the base of the center pin of the cable and then hook the cable back in the dish and satellite receiver) THIS IS A MUST TRY TWEEK!!! WOW!
Sorry Ozzy no way to post pictures....This is a very easy tweak, your just wraping the (center >copper< pin of the cable) with teflon tape and then pushing the the tape up to the base of the center copper pin. This makes non HDTV look a lot better....sharper..cleaner...brighter........darker colors!
I'm SHOCKED!!! nobody has tried my teflon tape tweak.... A good place to start is on all three prongs of your AC plug on your power conditioner...try it and your see what I'm talking about...........
Ozzy...Did you use PTFE teflon tape from Wal-Mart? You need to try it on all your AC plugs too.....
I was wrong Ozzy....I'm using teflon tape from Lowes not Wal-mart. I have both but I'm using Lowes PTFE teflon tape on my AC plugs and TV cable....You can hear and see a difference!
Ozzy.....I put some (Lowes teflon tape) on both ends of my speaker cables and interconnects(I put it on the center pins) and this took my system to a whole new level ! When you put this on all your cables(ac PLUGS TOO) in your whole system you will hear a difference.
I also noticed that my Teflon tape tweak on the AC Plugs makes my gear RUN COOLER!....this will give my gear a longer life! Less HEAT!
