I wonder if at least part of any sonic change from this tweak is the sound of the added Teflon dialectric as opposed to vibrational control. Which would explain why it's not a positive for some people?

Some folks prefer the effects of Teflon and others hate it.

I've found that cotton is the most neutral dielectric for my taste, and that Teflon comes close. Other dielectrics impart strong colorations to the sound for me. Considering that much of my system already has Teflon insulation, the small additional amount in the plug blade wrapping should not affect the overall dielectric coloration very much. Thus, I believe the improvements I hear are caused by acoustic damping.
Given my other experiences with teflon, I suspect you are right. nt - Norm 11:09:43 10/11/09 (0)

...that maybe the dielectric effect might out-weigh the anti-vibration effect.
