Dark Field

Anyone have any experience with these?



I've read that it is important to keep signal cables away from power cords.

Has anyone used these? Any audible difference?

I'll try them tomorrow and report back.

This is absolutely essential, but there are many ways for that.

Unfortunately, sometimes that is impossible. From what I have read, the next best thing is to have the IC and power cord cross at 90 degrees, or as close to 90 a possible.

One audio friend recommended a DIY solution: put all cables inside insulation foam pipes used for isolation of copper water pipes. Those are available at any DIY store for dozen a dime.

Not as cool as the dark fields, not as pretty either - but if there is a cable mash behind your rack, this is a way to solve it .

PS: At some point I did have an issue with interference and buzzing when power cords and ICs were touching each other. This is how I resolved it.

I have them and use them. BUT . . . . . . I don't find them any more effective than other non conducting methods such as the pipe insulation. And actually the pipe insulation is easy. With the slit in the side you just cut off a couple 3-4" slices and then cover the 2 wires with the insulation and - let em touch. I say this and tho I haven't' noticed any sound difference, since i have a bunch of the dark fields i go ahead and use them.
