Thanks for the analysis. I'll try this on my system CD player first, both ends of the wire one at a time. My system is probably not sensitive enough but who knows? I can always return the unions. I still think in my case I need to clean up the AC line the most. Bill

It is cheap so give it a go.

  I vote Dr. Phil the Asylum Tweekster of the year!
  I reread your final posts on where you have your copper couplers placed. Time to take off the copper on the amp's male plug. As you found, big change and for the better. I also use a powered sub with my horn-SET system. A copper coupler is now placed where a power cord plugs into the subs PS Audio duet power conditioner. Big improvement.
  I think this is the perfect tweek. It is easy to apply. The results are immediate. It is cheap.

    So one should only need 1 copper union to cover the power cord for the power filter/conditioner (if one is uing this) rather than having it on CDP, amp...etc? Would it have the same effect?
    
    Thanks.

      Should be on the IEC end of each unit. On the CD player both ends. Try it for yourself that cost zip.

        I just tried the copper union tweak on my intergrated amplifier, the union did not make contact with the amplifier chassis, but instead was touching the two screws holding the IEC holder, l witnessed a much better sound, but would actually touching the amplifier chassis be any more benefical,good tweak!

        If you touching the screws you should be ok. I know it is hard at times to keep the union touching the chassis due to the power cord angling down.
        
        Yours ears are the best source for hearing the big improvements.

        Just had another listen, this sounds like a different amplifier, very thing has improved! Tommorrow, l will try a coupler on my CD player, l Blu-Taced mine to the Wattgate, l am intriged if this is shielding and mechanical damping-anyway l am happy, thanks Dr. Phil.

        CD Player both ends of the plug. Try one at first on the iec side listen then add a second. It may be jaw dropping.
