Werd:
Got another crazy idea i want to share. OK we know graphite is good at digital noise surpression. I haven't tried this yet  :rofl: but

Looking at power or xlr cables into a dac. Is it reasonable to assume that by inserting graphite pencil lead (refillable) into the ground pin on a PC or XLR it might suppress any digital noise making it's way down the ground? On an xlr it looks like a #2 pencil would fit nicely in the pin.  :rofl:. I am going to try this.

sleepyguy24:
For the XLR cable input why not just get an XLR shorting plug?



I know it isn't as cheap as pencil or graphite tube but I don't think I've ever seen someone insert a graphite piece into an XLR input. I"ve seen these shorting plugs though.

Werd:
I meant on the xlr male connector. If you open up your balanced cables then look where it is soldered. The pins are hollow. Pin 1 is ground and will house pencil lead...  :lol:. On a power cable the ground prong is very often hollow also. For noise surpression into the ground wire...

  Werd interesting thought. Resonance control has recently been studied and found by Furutech for their power offerings and connectors to have a positive affect on the signal or current passing through.
  Let us know your findings.
