Add small pigtail wire off negative out of amp.WOW


A great tweak that is completely free (if you have bits of spare wire laying around)
Add a small pigtail of wire to the negative five way binding post of the amp. just hanging off the post, not connected at the other end to anything.
Works. Some implementations work better than others, but the result is greater clarity, and better lower frquencies.
How this works is ???
Anyway, for those who do not want to take a risk of doing something off the wall themselves, a low priced version is avalable from EVS for $30 a pair.

A few other companies make a similar product.
(I have no affiliation with EVS, and mention them ONLY because the product is not overpriced, and is basically a small tweak, at a fair price for it.)
My own attempt has led me to making clusters of Ferrites with wires sprouting out of the clusters. then a wire to the negative terminal of the amp. and a similar single ferrite with the wire sprouting at the negative terminal of the speakers.
I find more stuff off the end of the wire 'helps' for my particular setup.
Anyway. If you can find a way to do this tweak, and if you have a pretty good setup, you may find it is a great tweak. And dirt cheap too.
My cost for my complex adaptation is for the Ferrites $6.30 only, since I had the wire on hand as scrap. I used some bananas to stick the wires on the amp five way, but i had those laying around too.

at what point does increased resolution become too much resolution ?

i'm assuming the wire attached to the amp increases resolution.
I'm pretty sure I have some old speaker cables from Tara Labs with three conductors where the third conductor was supposed to be connected to the neutral post on the amplifier but not connected to the speaker.
Curious about 'too much resolution'.
With my powerline conditioners, I pretty much got myself to the limit of clarity (which i want) but at the expense of a thin (slightly) midrange.
The funny thing about the pigtail, is it add s to the clarity, yet brings back the normal warmer mids and definitely the lows are stronger.
So my system is just about 'perfect' (that is as good as THIS SYSTEMS sound gets)
I have had the pigtails in for over a week, and am pretty happy with the results.
This is not a 'joke' though I can understand if it seems crazy... no problem accepting that.
I am getting a negtive ion generator this week, as others say it helps the pigtail tweak.
Anyway, for three cents of wire, and a few $0.35 ferrite cores it is working pretty good, for me, anyway.
In general, the improvement is as great as the first aftermarket power cord one tried, or the first good cryoed outlet. So you who have tried those have an idea of what i am saying.
Elizabeth...just for the halibut...remove your power conditioners and listen again to your system...you can always put them back. I, myself have never met a power conditioner which hasn't screwed up the sound in some way (I tried many of them..Richard Gray the worst). I have found that power conditioners do something which I focus my attention on..after which I realize they ruin some other aspect of the sound.
