Copper Sleeve over IEC
Thanks. I went ahead and picked up a $5.00 copper coupler during lunch today...why wouldn't I, after reading more than 90 (mostly) positive reviews here. I have to say I am skeptical. I'll give it a go tonight.

Love Canned Heat.I dig kati Melua's version of "On the Road Again" - pretty cool that she decided to cover Canned Heat. 
Copper Sleeve over IEC
Nasaman, Quite honestly I saw the biggest advance in Video with the tweak.. Audio about 5 to 10% maybe, video 15 to 20% cleaner. For the most part as stated above this is most effective on digital gear, however more so on the transport side even o... 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
Okay...I have been holding off for a long time. This does not apply solely to this thread – it’s all over the place here…..THEN is THEN and THAN is THAN. Use the terms correctly! Sorry….sorry…I just couldn’t bear it any longer….no offense really. ... 
PS audio digital link 3 or similiar Dac
The stock DL-III is very good indeed. The Cullen Stage IV upgrade improves the stock unit by eliminating (or at least reducing to inaudibility) the slightly shrill harshness in the upper regions (many DACs in this price-range suffer from this), an...

Squeze Box Question
One note of caution: A music server has the potential to really impact an already obsessive personality (i.e.: audiophiles). You WILL obsessively spend, or want to spend, time on setting up your system. 
Squeze Box Question
Building a music server has literally breathed new life into my enjoyment of music. For me, this is more about the music than the equipment. In other words, I won't argue about which methodology sounds better. All I know is that I now listen to my...

What DAC are you using?Do you have SACD (ovbiously not that exact title) to compare the general quality.Using a Cullen Stage IV DL-III (PS Audio). I no longer have an SACD player, so I can't directly compare. By memory, the Cullen DAC takes well r... 
Suggestions for a PC on my PS Audio Duet
I also recommend using a PS PC with your Duet. I use the PS Lab II PC to connect my Duet to the wall outlet. The new PS cables will undoubtedly be good, but if you want to save some cash, check out some of the older models - like the Lab II PC, or... 
Baby name opinion....
Of course you should name your daughter Stereo. Why wouldn't you. I mean, after all, it’s about you and not your daughter - right? 
Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG
Is the DVD of this out yet?Is there an official Jeff Beck DVD slated? I sure hope so. I have a couple of bootleg JB concerts on DVR, but they were copied from VHS.... 
Copper Sleeve over IEC
My CD player already has a 3 prong outlet, so I havent tried that suggestion.Nor have I tried the double reading trick, although that one is easy to do anytime.I guess I didn't catch the fact that the Marantz did not already utilize a grounded con... 
Copper Sleeve over IEC
Interesting video, which shows the application of multiple tweaks (not just the copper sleeve). Have you tried using a homemade ground wire as seen in the video? It looks as if he used a regular 3-pin plug, but removed the positive and neutral pin...
