A weird tweak I’d never think would be appreciable

The weirdest tweak ever, and I like it. It says to loosen the mounting screws of the Denafrips Ares II XLR connectors a bit. In a Part II, he says to do the same to the top cover screw in the rear panel and the power cord terminal assembly. I did a quarter turn, and made sure the connectors moved a little with finger pressure. He says this is from the point to point wiring of the XLR to the PCB board that stresses it. Duhno why that would affect things. I further loosened the RCA’s as well slightly for good measure. The effect is marginal, but appreciable. Hey, its free.

He goes on to say that it will work for others.

interesting your right if it works why not try it.
 
30 minutes into it, its actually pretty remarkable. I dont get it. Ive spent thousands that didnt amount to this.

Will somebody try to confirm this tweak and that Im not out of my mind.

I’m happy for you that it made a difference.it sure is wired but I have heard of such things before.
