ERS Cloth uses

Freemand, I installed two pieces of ERS within the panel feeding my dedicated lines. I put a 5 x 6" piece in the top above the breakers and a 4 x 6" piece on the door above the circuit breakers themselves.

I would not describe the effect as substantial, but it is very worthwhile. The image is higher, the bass more defined, and the noise floor lower.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. This is the first instance I have had supporting the benefits of ERS paper.

Freemand, I have to withdraw my earlier observations. Last night I was listening and noticed that my music had lost its life and pace. It was boring, undynamic, lacking in ambience, with a one note bass. I kept trying to figure out what had gone wrong and could not conceive of what it might be.

While preparing for bed it hit me--the ERS that I put on my breaker panel. First thing this morning I listened again to the last cd I had played. Afterwards, I removed the ERS and relistened. Bingo! The life was back! This is all consistent with my previous experiences with the ERS, but I don't know why I initially got favorable results. Since the panel is on the other side of my house, perhaps the initial impact is favorable but ultimately gets to the system. I really don't know, but my ERS goes back into the closet.

Dazzdax, that is certainly my experience.

Freemand, I have yet to find a good place but have not tried the circuit breakers. Where do you put it? Just on the front of the panels?

Thanks, Freemand, I have one sheet of ERS and will concentrate on the circuit breakers and the box.

Vx700, all that I can say is proceed slowly as your experience may be like mine. With the exception of one cut up sheet, I sold all of my ERS cloth. I am going to try Freemand's suggestions today or tomorrow.

Vx700, if by polished river stones, you mean Brilliant Pebbles, I can say that in at least some circumstances, I have found them useful. I am using none now and I am using no ERS cloth now. In my experience I cannot place the ERS cloth as anything other than snake oil, but this apparantly is not the case with some other people.

Dan, I live in a medium sized city where I seldom hear noises such as acs going on. The voltage is an almost constant 124.3 volts.

I have always been attracted to the speed of components, especially speakers. Unlike many how, as judged by a recent piece in TAS, my whole focus is on realism of the reproduction, not just how musical it is. To me it cannot be musical unless it closely enough corresponds to the real thing.

Geoffkait, just on a coffee table in the room! Maybe I need to get what I have out of the room.

Psacanli, I think that it reveals that at least in some systems there is an unfortunate side effect given our present capabilities to reduce noise.
