Heartsound Audio holostages wired into speakers and line level are probably my favorite tweaks. I've tried Bybee, Perfect Path, Synergistic Research devices, Shunyata, et cetera... but the Heartsound Audio is the most powerful of any of them, with a warm sound that doesn't overdo it. I've got Heartsound devices on my panel box, speakers, line level, room corners, on top of my speakers, source, router, router power supplies, server power supplies, transport, streamer/DAC, amps, power cords, power conditioners, and on side walls. Krissy is also one of the few women audiophiles that makes gear. She is obsessive and I think all she ever does is trial & error tests with different materials. Really nice gal too.

iFi iPurifiers are great too, by the way. Cheap and they make a big difference if your AC is crap. I've got about 8 of 'em on AC and a couple on some DC coming from my linear power supplies.

Thank you so much for those kind words! I think it is a unique characteristic of outer filters: the fact that you can stack them. Passive filters when connected in series tend to kill the dynamics. Our AC Purifiers are parallel to the mains, thus do not increase the impedance.

1) Neodio Audio Acoustic Purifier Origine B2
2) Lessloss Firewall for Speakers
3) Puron AC Line Conditioner
4) Shunyata Defender
5) Home made riser for speaker cables

If you consider supertweeters a tweak than I'd put Taket Live and Batpro 2 supertweeters at the top of my list

Only if rhey are add-ons. Not replacements, that would be a modification.;)

Mr Facten. How are you liking your LessLoss firewall for speakers. I have 4 of the X640 and C Mark cables in my system and have been thinking about this tweak. Appreciate any feedback.

@Republicoftexas69

I have been pleased with them - fuller, tighter texture and tone, no smearing or loss of dynamics.

Hello everybody,

My different tweaks:

- Furutech Flux-50 NCF(G) and (R) : one by source
- Furutech NCF Booster and Furutech NCF Booster signal
- Furutech Pure Power 6(the best: better dynamic)
- Nordost Kone AC BC TC(better accuracy and more space )
- Ansuz DTC resonator(warmer Sound with the DAC)
- Nordost Qpoint( better 3D sound)
- Nordost Qkore6(Excellent)

Have a great day.

And if you had to choose only one of those, which would that be?

I say : there is a great synergy between us.
So if you choose one and not connect the others, you have not the additional effect....

Hello,

Sorry for the delay but I have a lot of work this week?

My different tweaks:

- Furutech Flux-50 NCF(G) and (R) : one by source
- Furutech NCF Booster and Furutech NCF Booster signal
- Furutech Pure Power 6(the best: better dynamic)
- Nordost Kone AC BC TC(better accuracy and more space )
- Ansuz DTC resonator(warmer Sound with the DAC)
- Nordost Qpoint( better 3D sound)
- Nordost Qkore6(Excellent)

I will add some informations :


- Furutech Flux-50 NCF(G) and (R) : one by source
Better to begin with preamplifier and after with the sources
- Furutech NCF Booster and Furutech NCF Booster signal
Furutech NCF Booster : better for dynamic and accuracy and better voices
Furutech NCF Booster signal :better for separation
- Furutech Pure Power 6(the best: better dynamic)
Perhaps the best tweak I have : improve all the system : better sound than never

I believe it is finished, but some friend propose me to try this
- Nordost Kone AC BC TC(better accuracy and more space ) :
For the amplifier :Nordost Kone AC, BC, 2 TC - better to mix them
For the my CD player :Nordost Kone AC, BC, 2 TC - better to mix them

- Ansuz DTC resonator(warmer Sound with the DAC)
The second best tweak..the sound is near the vinyl...

- Nordost Qpoint( better 3D sound)
The third best tweak

- Nordost Qkore6(Excellent)
The ground is connected to the Furutech Pure Power 6E NCF with Qkore Wire premium !!!
Sources connected with the Qkore6 :
- preamplifier
- DAC
- CD player
- Phono

Please note :
With the amplifier :Nordost Kone AC, BC, 2 TC
If I connected the DAC to the Qkore6 : I don't find a difference or if it has a difference, I can ' t hear it.
With the amplifier : without Nordost Kone AC, BC, 2 TC
If I connected the DAC to the Qkore6 : the difference are bigger...
It is very strange...

Ansuz DTC resonator doesn't improve the sound of the amplifier...
Nordost Kone AC, BC, 2 TC doesn't improve the sound of the DAC...

So, try and hope you're win...

So people tweak their Teslas and have to choose
just one tweak from a list of them?

Otherwise what's the relevance to the previous comments or this thread?
SORRY WRONG THREAD
