Tweak your Receiver to sound more like TUBE GEAR with Teflon Tape!!
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 146 Registered: Aug-06 | I may not get anything modified now after trying this teflon tape tweak! I put teflon tape on my fuse and around both fuse holders holding the fuse. I also put it on my ac plug and speaker hook-ups inside of my receiver too. I'm enjoying the best of both worlds now!! I'm using teflon tape from Wal Mart.. it sounds better! I'm SHOCKED that nobody has tried this very cheap tweak yet!! |

Bronze Member Username: WattsssupBarrie, ON Canada Post Number: 27 Registered: Aug-06 | Next you should try duct taping your cd player. |
|
Bronze Member Username: WattsssupBarrie, ON Canada Post Number: 28 Registered: Aug-06 | It's probably an even cheaper tweak. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8308 Registered: Dec-04 | Maybe Red Green your whole head. Where is the link, Randy? You know I will try it. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8309 Registered: Dec-04 | Oh Gosh yes. |
|
Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 258 Registered: Jun-07 | Randy- I just wrapped a whole roll of duct tape around my receiver. I then taped my arm to my neck. I walked up to my tv and spit on it. I then kicked my cat. I put on a blu-ray movie. It was Black Hawk down in uncompressed PCM audio. I stood in the middle of the room watching a scene, with my arm tied behind my head, taped up receiver and spit running down my tv. Best experience ever. Probably, by far, best upgrade. Im sending it in. I will be rich. Nuck -....Marc...I will be rich. |

Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1485 Registered: Nov-05 | We all obviously find you awfully entertaining Randy, but hey - why don't you wrap your Mr Wiggly up in the Walmart duct tape and entertain someone else for a change. Now there's a tweak that might pay you real dividends. You'll have to tell us, of course. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8313 Registered: Dec-04 | Nick, move a little more to the left...a little more...hold it! The picture is perfect. Stand right there till the game is over. |
|
Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 260 Registered: Jun-07 | M.R.- LOL nice. Nuck- ah ah I see it. Perfect picture.lol. |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 148 Registered: Aug-06 | I wraped all my wires inside my receiver with teflon tape last night and it lowered the noise floor alot!... |
|
Silver Member Username: StryvnPost Number: 416 Registered: Dec-06 | I filled my amp with spray foam insulation, Randy. THIS is the ultimate cheap tweak...Lowered the noise floor and raised the drywall ceiling. Rain clouds moved in. The last amp I will ever buy! Then wrapped wife in teflon tape. THe chicken has flown the coup. Elefants omelette will canopy has wurefull schpondoolays. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8316 Registered: Dec-04 | Randy, again, do you have a link with more info? |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 149 Registered: Aug-06 | The receiver that I did this tweak on is a older Denon avr 2400. I can not believe I made a A/V receiver sound this GOOD!! THIS TWEAK REALLY WORKS!........ |
|
Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1489 Registered: Nov-05 | Mommy's letting Randy play with the 'puter again. Mommy, Randy's telling fibs again. Time to put him back in the closet. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8320 Registered: Dec-04 | RANDY! CAN YOU GIVE ME A LINK?!?! Hey you started the Caps. |
|
Silver Member Username: EramseySouth carolina United States Post Number: 551 Registered: Feb-05 | Randy stay off the drugs son. |
|
Silver Member Username: GavdawgUpstate, New York Post Number: 815 Registered: Nov-06 | I think the ultimate tweak for randy would be for him to fill his skull with fix a flat. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ShawnharmanPost Number: 98 Registered: Dec-05 | randy sounds like one of them annoying sales men on T.V lol I tried to tape my receiver last night but all it did was make it reall sticky, didnt sound any different. |
|
Bronze Member Username: WattsssupBarrie, ON Canada Post Number: 30 Registered: Aug-06 | Try duct tape. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ShawnharmanPost Number: 99 Registered: Dec-05 | tried both duct and electrical and it made it hot as hell because I covered the top, was that a smart idea?????? |
|
Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1500 Registered: Nov-05 | Duct tape would be perfect for Randy as I'll bet he spends a lot of time with the quack. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8337 Registered: Dec-04 | hehehe |
|
Silver Member Username: GamerdudeOntario Canada Post Number: 525 Registered: Apr-06 | Lol |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 151 Registered: Aug-06 | The more I listen...the more I think this is a BREAKTHOUGH for SS gear! This is no JOKE....This tweak is for REAL. |
|
Silver Member Username: StefanomVienna, VA United States Post Number: 904 Registered: Apr-06 | Now if you want to see a real tweak Randy, check this out. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=881010 THAT is the real deal! |
|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 234 Registered: Feb-07 | Is this Randy guy for real? |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8405 Registered: Dec-04 | Yep. |
|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 235 Registered: Feb-07 | Scary. |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 152 Registered: Aug-06 | Some friends of mine came over the other day and they were all amazed at how good my stereo system sounded now. They wanted to know what I did to it so I showed them. They are all now doing this tweak to their systems too. I think this teflon tweak is blocking some of the AC grunge from the very dirty AC power when you put the teflon on the ac plugs and around each fuse holder. IT WORKS LIKE A POWER CONDITIONOR SHOULD REALLY WORK!! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8414 Registered: Dec-04 | I would love to A/B scope the power supplies for that. Congrats RW. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8415 Registered: Dec-04 | BTW, they are not your friends. They are using you for your technical knowledge. Now THAT says something. Pass the pork rinds... |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 153 Registered: Aug-06 | Very funny NUCK... I was looking around and found out that very high priced gear has Teflon coated wires inside their gear also..... |
|
Silver Member Username: GavdawgUpstate, New York Post Number: 864 Registered: Nov-06 | now THIS is the ultimate tweak for randy... CAUTION! NOT WORK SAFE! http://www.ohmibod.com/ |
|
Silver Member Username: StryvnPost Number: 448 Registered: Dec-06 | Randy, Another great tweak for you to try to get your car stereo to sound more like tube gear - I found that if I drive with 2 old toilet paper rolls over my ears I get a real tube sound. And get this, I used 2 NEW rolls just today. Still loaded up with the squeezable Charmin...it sounded like brand new tubes. Very warm and transparent. Just like a telefunken U47. You'll love it. I know some of you are safety minded...this'll blow your mind. If you're worried about that whole 10 and 2 business on the wheel (or is it 9 and 3 they recommend now??) try duct tape. Duct tape both rolls to your head. Randy, my buddy says this is the cheapest most effective tweak he's ever tried. You'll be amazed! And the other motorists seem to like it too. Should I be posting in the Car Stereo section? |
|
Silver Member Username: GavdawgUpstate, New York Post Number: 868 Registered: Nov-06 | sometimes I really enjoy randy, as much as I hate to admit it... he is great stress relief :-P |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 154 Registered: Aug-06 |  You people are really missing out...some of these tweaks out here really do work, like the Dakiom 203 series feedback stabilizers!...Clever Little Clocks and their Phone tweak!..and this teflon tape tweak! Next I'm going to try three Blue Circle BC 86 MK3 LINE CONDITIONERS all together on the same outlet...I heard about these over on www.audiotweaks.com on their reviews site there at the top of the page..... |
|
Silver Member Username: HuronPost Number: 194 Registered: Mar-07 | Randy, are you a tweaker? I have seen a lot of people rot there brains on that shiit. or did you really improve that Denon, because if its a Denon I just might believe it |
|
Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 313 Registered: Jun-07 | Angelo-LOL. So true. |
|
Silver Member Username: SemNew York/Cal... USA Post Number: 697 Registered: Mar-04 | I'm not sure what makes me shake my head more - the original post, or the fact that there are more than 40 replies to it. |
|
Silver Member Username: HuronPost Number: 195 Registered: Mar-07 | whats even more funny is that you replied, a reply is a reply, it`s psychotic like that  |
|
Silver Member Username: HuronPost Number: 196 Registered: Mar-07 | randy, what about teflon in a aerosol, and could I use it on my frying pans as well, I see a double money maker hear, recondition and improve your reciever and frying pans at the same time, YOU PSYCHOTIC TWEAKER YOU |
|
Silver Member Username: LeonskiPost Number: 190 Registered: Jan-07 | I found vast improvements using an ACE bandage. Watch out for those metal clippy things, though, they hurt bad when you snag yourself. I have determined this using extensive double blind testing techniques developed by the UFO crowd. |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 155 Registered: Aug-06 | Here's another must try tweaks!! Use hook-up wires to replace those binding posts on your speakers and amps....... |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8506 Registered: Dec-04 | news flash. This tweak is worthwhile, Randy. Thats why it has been posted for years. |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 156 Registered: Aug-06 | Some think that all speaker cables sound the same but not me.....I'm using outdoor power supply 600v power cord from Home Depot. I think this stuff will make a believer out of you....! NIGHT AND DAY DEFERENCE!! |
|
Silver Member Username: StryvnPost Number: 461 Registered: Dec-06 | Do you ever stop fcuking around with the shite and just listen to the tunes, Dude? Get off the Jolt and mellow out, man. |
|
Silver Member Username: StefanomVienna, VA United States Post Number: 931 Registered: Apr-06 | I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 1000, what is it???? (Yes, its one of those days...) |
|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 268 Registered: Feb-07 | 1001? |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8585 Registered: Dec-04 | Randy, you are finally getting some tweaks that work. That's why the specific cord has also been in circulation for years. Teflon tape wrapped around insulated conductors? not so much. |
|
Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 366 Registered: Jun-07 | ahhh man...Randy, most of us on this site have gear that we bought because we like the way it sounds, OUT OF THE BOX. No tweaks needed. It is all about the music like Stryvn said. |
|
Silver Member Username: StefanomVienna, VA United States Post Number: 932 Registered: Apr-06 | I'll say this much: every time I tried a tweak, it did next to nothing or it made the sound worse. The thing I've learned after screwing up a few times: don't tweak. If a designer could spend 2 bucks to make a 100% difference in sound, he or she would have. PS: The number was 12. |
|
Silver Member Username: DmitchellOttawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 271 Registered: Feb-07 | If it ain't broke... PS: That was my next guess. |
|
Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2570 Registered: Dec-06 | Well I can't really tell the difference between night and day (no, not blind)...so basically you're saying nothin' Or ARRREEEE you? |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 157 Registered: Aug-06 | Your right...they do close to nothing at all...like no cable at all between your gear to your speakers! Like it should be............................LIVE MUSIC! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8602 Registered: Dec-04 | OK what happened to the Randy that we love to bash? Tell ya what RW, start over. Your Denon needed to be wrapped...why? |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 158 Registered: Aug-06 | Nuck.....Don't you get it! I'm hearing the effects of my teflon tweak MORE with these new diy speaker cables...I think I'm on to something here...PUTTING TEFLON TAPE IN THE RIGHT SPOTS INSIDE YOUR GEAR MAKE THEM SOUND ALOT BETTER.....THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! |
|
Silver Member Username: ShawnharmanPost Number: 109 Registered: Dec-05 | What about if you put it on your volume knob? will it go louder? |
|
Silver Member Username: ShawnharmanPost Number: 110 Registered: Dec-05 | I took my receiver, threw it out the window, went outside and kicked it 5 timess, took it back inside ran it under water, for 3 minutes (hot not cold) hooked it up, and BAM!!!! what a difference!! damn thing didnt even turn on! go figure? |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8623 Registered: Dec-04 | Well that didn't last long. What about if you put it on YOUR knob? Randy, I am GETTING IT. I am GETTING A BEER! And waiting for you to try the rainbow foil. And little yellow dots. |
|
Silver Member Username: HifisoundguyPost Number: 159 Registered: Aug-06 | Nuck....I do have memory foil on each of my speaker components on my speakers..WHEN YOU GET THE RIGHT MATCH WITH THESE DCM TFE200's.....WOW! THEY GOOD DAMN GOOD..ONE OF THE BEST ON THE MARKET WITH THE RIGHT GEAR......! |
|
Gold Member Username: Arande2Rattle your ... Missouri Post Number: 2573 Registered: Dec-06 | You must also take into account each one's personal preference. |
|
Silver Member Username: HuronPost Number: 197 Registered: Mar-07 | I thought this thread was cute in the beginning but now all I see in my Email is tweak tweak tweak, Randy stop tweaking I can hear your brain frying from hear. has anyone tried the, make wooden knobs so you dont shock your equipment thing, I dont have to worry since I only have one knob to play with and it dosnt have a shock problem |
