Tweaks


The latest issue of Absolute Sound has a list of 15 or so tweaks that they say are worth doing. I would like to get some feedback from others about 3 of them.

1. Grounding Caps for unused preamp inputs.
2. Equipment anti-vibration devices such as Vibropods.
3. Aligning interconnects and power cords so that they cross at right angles to each other. (This sounds like a very difficult thing to arrange).

Jax2 (Marco), I know the reason you're so opposed to the Clever Little Clock and I'm gonna let the whole Audiogon community know the truth.

You bought one last September and after some testing you decided to go for the refund.

Before you could box it up and ship it back, one of your big dogs chewed it up and deposited it in the yard where you were unable to tell Clever Little Clock from puree of Gravy Train.

Driven to deep depression, you immersed yourself in Elton John albums at ear splitting levels, causing one of your Klipsh drivers to blow more than Elton John at a YMCA.

Understandably, you're still depressed but lets be honest here.

Albertporter, perhaps Jax2 could have his dog sit in the center of the room for better imaging.
Enough said about this on my part.

I wish you had not posted that at Audiogon, Marco was planning on introducing the dog-here, dog-gone tweak at CES. Since his large dogs are not allowed in the hotel he's having a couple of different models made from cloth and stuffed with various material. So far he says it's working out except for some issues with being too large.

To reduce size and for ease in shipping Marco came up with Velcro attachments for the tail, arms and legs but his (real) dogs keep carrying off the vital parts and chewing them up.

He originally considered What-Dog as a clever name but thought it too close to a famous manufacturers product and dropped the idea.

Guess we'll see how it all works out in January.
Marco, I'm sold !

Only one question, if I have two stereo systems and receive the CanineCall™ does it transform both at the same time? Even more important, do I have to pay twice?
