Spare change on a speaker cabinet


Does anyone know of a tweak where you put a certain amount of spare change on the corner of one of your speaker cabinets (or both) to improve the soundstage? Sounds crazy but I heard it once and it did seem to work. I heard it in a store in NC.

Thanks.

I find it best to use $0.37 on the inner rear corner of each speaker. No quarters either, as they will wreck the imaging. Place the 3 nickels in an L shape nearest the corner, with the 2 dimes coming out of the corner nickel at a 45 degree angle. Then place one penny on either sided of the outside dime. MAKE SURE NO COIN TOUCHES ANY OTHER COIN!! As this will cause the soundstage to collapse.

Done just right, it is magical. The best $0.74 you'll ever spend. FWIW, I have not tried this on a 5.1 or a 7.1 system, but I'm still experimenting.
