N@Z 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 Nope can't put it on the CD tray (besides the 3"CD recess) at all as I've mentioned before. I'll try it again just the 1 or 5 cent coin on the plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ticky 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 You can't be serious?! Reminds me of the time when a professional audio equipment reviewer "found out" that his equipments sounds better when it is allowed to thaw out in his refridgerator. The man went out to bought a new fridge to cool off his stuff before listening to them. Now that's dedication.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 No harm to try if it hardly cost you anything but getting a new fridge does seem a bit much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ticky 0 Report post Posted February 11, 2004 Well... any enterprising audioholic willing to test it out?? Its all in the name of science.... The rest of us will just take 2 (maybe 10) steps back and see what happens. I can't remember where I read it... its a while ago. either in Stereo Review or Audio magazine. There was even a picture of the dude's fridge modified to fit his amp, CDP. No speakers though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razer 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2006 It sounded worse than snake oil to me...Haven't given it a try and I'am still in doubt as to whether would it work or not. However, its worth a try since is free. But why can such minusicle vibrations and resonance by the molecules in the coins make sonic differences that re actually noticeable? Even if the natural frequency of the coin was the same as the driving frequency from the vibrations of the headphones/ whatever equipment that you have, wouldn't it still be too small to be discerned? Bah, I think I'll just give it a try and give u the results...Btw, Mackie, where do i place the coins on? The cups of the headphones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razer 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2006 Hmmmz, I don't think they work with the Grados....Seems that the "HF-1" button sort of dampens the effect? I hear no differences....Next on are the Sony SA5000's.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mackie 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) I don't apply coin tweak on my cans as they don't work; only on my speakers and hifi rack. Try it on your cd player and power cord as mentioned in my thread. Lots of people are skeptics but like any tweaks, these make small changes in nuances of sound. So don't expect huge changes with any tweak. I believe in the coin tweak which shares the same principles with lots of other reknowned tweaks like cones, spikes and tuning device such as Shun Mook discs etc. Edited May 2, 2006 by Mackie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razer 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2006 I remembered some crazy audiophile tweaks like wooden volume control knobs that cost nearly a grand as well as balls which look like marbles to me placed in some glass casing that sort of changed the air waves in the air so as to give the speaker sound a little tweak and other snake-oil like tweaks. Its really amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
