Joe,

There is something 1-cent & 5-cent coin can't do!

After you tweaked my system, it has become more sensitive to changes (or should I say I'm more sensitive to be able to notice changes?). All along my solidsteel racks are spiking on $1 coin. One night out of itchy hands I changed them to 1-cent coin...

It worsened by a lot!

Then I changed them back to $1 coin and my tapping feet are back in business.

Guess what I realised when I took the 1-cent coins out? All of them had a hole in the middle! I then put my itchy hands at work again and changed them to 5-cent coins. It was a lot better than 1-cent but not as good as $1. I guess it might be because when you tweaked my system, the $1 coins was already in the equation - the change of coin jeopardised the balance? Maybe 5-cent coin will be acceptable if done with other tweakings at the same time?

Yesterday two of my friends spent a few hours listening in the evening. They were both stunned by the changes compared to the pre-tweak performance. After one of them left, the other requested for a 'crystal trial'. He asked to take away some crystals and was amazed that each piece has its effect!

He said he'll be going to Lucky China Town tomorrow...

Hmm...I guess that is purely because a S$1 coin is 100 times more valuable than the 1-cent and 20 times more than the 5-cents???

No such thing lah! In fact to be honest, I did not even notice that you have those S$1 coin underneath the spikes of your rack. You know my body size...I seldom bend down!

To be frank, I have never tried using any 1-cent or 5-cents coins as supports to spikes. I only place or stick them on the surfaces of walls, floors and components. I have tried tweaking with S$1 coin and they gave very heavy and dynamic sound, the bass is enhanced and the mid is gorgeous. However, it is not ‘all-rounded’ and the ambience were seriously affected.

But I see no reason why one shouldn’t give it a try.
