Tweaks That Don't Work

This may be the subject of some discord, but a great community service would be to help others not waste money on snake oil.

Please let us know what you've tried that had no impact - or negative impact, even - on your system. Also, if there are tweaks or products that are only useful on some systems for whatever reason, please let us know what kinds of systems do and don't benefit from the particular products.

Some of you out there have tremendous experience trying to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of your equipment and probably have a laundry list for us - let's hear it!

Hi Flg2002, not sure about which AudioPrism AC purifier you are talking about. Is it the Quiet Line thingy? I am using a few of the Quiet Lines. The thing is that I plug one into my PS Audio power bar, my Changlight Speed and even my Power Wedge. You should hear an audible difference. I'm using the Power Wedge for my computer set-up. Immediately, you can see the color difference on the monitor. The black is blacker and the colors are much richer. If you plug it directly into the wall, you must find out which outlet has the most noise. If not, you will not hear any difference in your system. Hope this helps.

Peter Belt's Rainbow Electet Foil works in my system. I would say that that is his most effective tweak. Just stick two short lengths on a CD. Audible. That said, some of his other tweaks offer no immediate significant audible difference. His position is use the tweaks for a period and then remove them. You should hear a degradation in sound.

I have use the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet on my DVD player and TV set. The colors are much richer and opaque. Perhaps Nzera should try his on his video setup and see if there's a difference.
