I read one forum where a guy tried this. He measured the current draw of the system with and with out the tape. It was actually a bit lower with the tape. I passed it on to one of the design engineers here who is a skeptic but has an audiophile friend, so is a bit sympathetic. Here is his response:
That sounds like it's out of left field. Maybe the compressed teflon is damping microphonic vibrations in the plug leading to a consistent nonvibrating contact with overall lower DC resistance (hence lower current draw). Less vibrations would seem to imply less noise as well. -- regalma1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ regalma1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6658 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89174 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
