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 thought I had settled on my cabling but now ....Using Tellurium Q throughout. Mad Scientist Audio has me rethinking the possibility of finding ways to enhance even more. Any try the tubes caps things? They sit on top of each preamp tube. Sounded dangerous at first but they can take 300 degrees they say so what possibly could go wrong? (lol) What to try the contact enhancement liquid except many hear recommend a different product....Boy, do I miss Millercarbon's pontificating! Never can have too many Pontiffs. 

Nano Nitro AC have been the best AC cords I have had in 35 years- some at $2500 and these guys are SO much more musical. Caveat, it takes at least 6 weeks to burn in. Any less and you do not hear their potential.

ATTENTION ALL RAVEN AUDIO OWNERS!!: HUGE NEWS!!! Biggest tweek yet! After all the upgrades I've done (short list includes: Terrulium Q cabling, made nighthawk a blackhawk, pricey tubes throughout, fuse upgrade, etc) I've put a solid clay brick with felt feet on top of the transformer box at rear of Raven integrated amp and clarity has come forth previously unheard!! Apparently the transformer hum was shaking the tubes tiny brains to distraction. 0 dollars = BIG IMPROVEMENT

Maybe Raven should just fix the hum issue, I have Line Magnetic, Finale Audio and Ayon Audio integrated tube amps and not a one has transformer hum, no need for bricks

I have the tube caps on my recifier tubes on my Wavac EC 300b with great results; notably less grain and sibilance. I have a nano donut ring on the torroidal in my InnuOS Zenith Mk3. Not too sure about that one; at least it does no harm. The best results come from the graphene solution: foremost on anything power related but interestingly also on Ethernet and USB connections. This stuff is for real.
