The 'pigtail tweak' is a simple wire, group of wires, wire to bulb of metal at end of wire. not grounded (not stuck to anyplace the metal has other contact to be a connection to other wires, metal, except the ONE connection to the terminal. it is not part of a complete circuit).
The pigtail is placed only on the neutral side (of A/C wiring) or speaker level wires on negative terminal amp or speaker.
The wire is a few inches and has various calibrations, some have several smaller wires five inches long all together, others a wire with a termination. (I use the wire with termination of a ferrite. The ferrite I use is a 1" tall half inch diameter barrel with the wire end stripped and wrapped around the Ferrite, then teflon taped all over the assembly with the wire about 6" long out from ferrite. This is placed on any convenient spot (amp the terminals are five way posts, if using spades for speaker wires, stick on banana on negative terminals, or at speakers.For A/C outlets on neutral side only of other duplex outlet for amp, preamp...
The A/C one you MUST be certain it is on the neutral wire,and NOT on the hot wire!!!!!!!! (this can be hidden inside duplex box very easily, attaching the wire to the neutral duplex outlet. just make certain the stuff is well wrapped many layers of blue/pink/yellow teflon tape (the white tap can be used, it is just thin, and needs many more layers to be shieleded from direct contact if inside the receptical.
I have been thinking of trying some with tiny ferrit and very thin wire on signal level areas in electronics. At RCA out, inside equipment at negative RCA terminal...??
This tweak is totally at your own risk, especially on A/C!!! and if you are a putz, do not try these tweaks. they can if done wrong electocute you. destroy your equipment, start a fire.
As to why they work???
and for results, the results depend on so many factors...
I tried this tweak before and nothing. Then I have been upgrading, and adding other tweaks and now the pigtail tweak works really great for me. Better clarity, and better dynamics.
Special pigtails can be purchased for big buck$$$ or just get some wire and some small ferrite bits and make them yourself.
This tweak is discussed more over at audio asylum tweaks DIY forum.
