Mad Scientists Audio Nano Tweaks


My dear Audiophile friends...My curiosity has drawn me into trying many crazy tweaks to try and nudge a hint of better sound out of my system. Obviously nothing can substitute for actual quality components so that's a given and on that front I've put my focus. HOWEVER, if using a marker to blacken the center and edges of my CDs helps I'm in. (And yes it does help, double blind test) So from boutique fuses. system disks, upgraded power cords, to Nano disks, if the item isn't too expensive and provides money back guarantee, I'm willing to be a potential sucker. Two issues, well three, come into play. Placebo effect, change of tone misinterpreted as improvement, and volume consistency while evaluating. We all grasp the meaning of the placebo effect. The second issue is much more subtle. A change in the sound which brings out different unheard details when actually nothing is improved overall. You may like the change when your stale music collection can sound new again. There is a value in that.  Then the problem of volume. I caught myself turning up the volume beyond my usual level (DB meter is key) when I was evaluation a new items. Playing louder will obviously allow you to "hear" more within the music. These factors can easily bias a reviewer. Third day after installing multiple Nano things at key spots around my system and I hear #1. a difference which does not seem to be merely rearranging the tone but truly improving the sound. #2. At both high and low volumes enhanced clarity is undeniable. #3. The placebo effect "appears" to work without regard to cost of said "snake oil." My theory is placebo effect works infinitely and without regards to cost. therefore one can "perceive" improvements in the system Curiously this placebo effect often works on visitors who have no knowledge of the "enhancements"!  Therefore I highly recommend Mad Scientist Audio tweaks. Very inexpensive and appears to trigger full utilization of placebo effect! COST? $100

I purchased the Mad Scientist -
Heretical Digital Cable 1 meter, RCA Plug Type : KLE Silver Harmony Plugs

This was for my 4K bluray player, and it worked famously when I used it to my DAC.

I was gifted some of the black discus samples with my order. I also requested free sample so I had enough to play with for a better idea if they’d work in my system.

I have them blutacked on my XLR cables, but in my case, to be frank, I cannot discern a difference in sound with or without. Personally, from that, I’m not going to pay for nano stuff from them anytime soon. I have no reason to dispute their usefulness to you allears4u, my digital cable is brilliant.

If I wasn’t eagerly awaiting the SilverSmith Fidelium XLR cables to match my speaker cables, I’d be wanting to trial the Flexible Carbon/Graphene PLUS
1 meter with KLE Absolute Harmony

More Mad Scientist cable/s again maybe, mine works great.

@jerrybj Kia Ora mate (Yeah I'm making a presumption)
Guessing you're in NZ otherwise you posted in your Eichmann power strips?

I am curious if you've done a shootout between Curious Cables and the Black Magic USB? I have the Curious Evolved, but I'm curious as to how good the Black Magic is.

@allears4u - I don't have tubes anymore, and only did on a DAC made in Australia.
I will soon be trying some US made new to the market contact goop as you call it, however, not any from Mad Scientist.

I have to wait for stuff sometimes to come from my home country which is nearest NZ, and yeah it often takes weeks not days.
