lessloss blackbody

Using only two lessloss blackbody's

1. At first don't try and hear what you've been missing. It's the opposite!

2. The silence between notes is what was missing.

3. Next I noticed improvement in decay. This is why I said "At first" in point 1 above

Subtile at first I thought but if you listen for an hour then remove them you will be upset!

I have two only two blackbody's; placement is very important in general and apparently you will get the best results if you place the Blackbody facing due North i.e pointing due North through the gear.

My physical constraints are such that I can not get it totally right without more!

Assuming you have your dream gear, room, power, cables, interconnects sorted out this is the final tweak; but after vibration isolation.

btw I was real happy with the lessloss DFPC Signature power cords. Got two then just got 2 more!

"The silence between notes is what was missing. "

That would seem logical given that it's a black body. Noise must get in but never gets out.

While a certain amount of skepticism is always healthy I would point out that the naysayers here have not even seen one of these things. How do you know that they cannot work?

Quite different from, I tried several out and in my opinion they had no effect or their effect was minimal at best.

I've heard one or two power conditioners (I know we're not discussing power conditioners, but the effect I'm going to discuss is similar) that created "blackness" between the notes. What I found was that this blackness between the notes sounded unnatural to me. In a live performance, or even in a recorded performance, there is seldom silence so lacking in ambient sound that it sounds "black".

Some tweaks I've tried have also resulted in this "blackness" between notes. I've never favored the result.

Music has room ambience. Without it, the recording seems artificial.

Yes, 3 possibilities:
1. They work, positive effect.
2. They have a negative effect.
3. They do nothing, they have no effect.
