It will be interesting to see if the tuning ring works on Dragon Constant Current. I am pleasantly surprised how well it works on the Dragon HC.
This product is a another AC tuning ring. Works best at cable ends. Sound familiar?
Haha, I like yours better, and the price is right too!
Yes to boot they have same mapnetic pellets in them as their vibb eater speaker vibration killers. Does same thing as a 3M tuning ring and sorbothane isolator on power cord. Except my tweaks are cheaper. It would be fun to compare which sounds better.
It looks much heavier than yours, they may start selling special sorbothane feet to support that
This site seems to have better info then the parent Entreq site.
The site also introduces a new can of worms: Tuning rings on Speaker cables.
Yeah I saw that. My Bi-wired set up even a bigger can of worms for more tweaking.
Also the connection to a ground box would be a new aspect to take into consideration as for tuning ring or it would be a simply marketing sales push?!?!
That seems like a push to sell another product. The EMF absorption material will turn RF and EMF to heat. The ground block might be useful if cable has poor RF drain. Otherwise seems extraneous given way absorber works. If your unit has poor ground already maybe you would hear it on its own. Best thing it’d be additive to noise floor reductions if it offers lower impedance relative to existing ground path in your power cable and your device.
I can send you a Whisper with tuning ring for trial. Just need it back after it perhaps slays your new Dragon on your sources. I am not using it for a bit until I get the Air Lens. I have a new M-1 coming and after it breaks in I may try it on my HDPLEX300. Right now introducing it with a new M-1 might confuse me. Your opinion in the Cable Sutra thread would be fun vs Dragon source cables.
Maybe you can ship it back via @Duncan_Taylor so he can bless it with his new breakin process and the outer RF and sleeve weave.
Slay my Dragon? How can I refuse such an offer! If it is better, I will sell it to a lucky member here at a good price. I will send you a PM.
But I really hope Whisper is no match to Dragon. Darn!!!
Hope you can report soon your thoughts about it, I’m curious.
I hope I will receive my Dragon Constant soon so I can break in it in a brief time. I have an adapter for power cord to do the break in on my wine refrigerator to accelerate the break in process, and summertime helps!
And Chardonnay may obtain a new fuller balanced and fresh flavor!
Nick gives you 60 days to return to Music Room. I will try to ship it out tomorrow or Thursday. The whisper needs a day or so run in after shipping to reset the dielectric. But should give you a good idea the Whisper elite is better still.
@dchang05 do ship it to me when you’re done! We’ve wanted to perform those updates on Darrell’s cables for a while now. Perfect time en route back to him.
My magic break-in process by the way is something anyone can do, with the right dummy resistors. I have giant wire wounds to get it done, bigger the better so you can absolutely cram high-wattage HF and some RF through only the ground of the cable, backwards from IEC end to wall plug end. That’s it. Requires a decent amp that won’t freak out from the HF - linear amps are better. Requires some plug connectors so you can use the ground of the cable as a “speaker cable” leading to the dummy resistors. I like to use Tara Labs’ Cascade program, which you can download from their website and use as the source. I have it in Roon which lets me pipe it to the amp via my raspberry pi Roon server I now use for this job.
A day of this treatment works wonders. 4 days is amazing. A week or two is a serious burn-in.
While waiting for the Dragon, I will give it a prelude test run on my PST to compare it with Silnote Orion M-1 first. Orion is untouchable at PST so far.
Whisper must pass Orion first to face the mighty Dragon.
Will do, I am very looking forward to hearing the Whisper in my system. Thanks ahead!
No problem for the Whisper I am sure facing the Orion or a power cable on an Amp or other digital device.
