Robin, Just a thought. What if you roll up an 8" X 11" piece of ERS and put a shrink sleeve over it. I wonder if a rolled up $20.00 piece of ERS is equivalent (or better) than the $90.00 Z-Sleeve. You have both. Why don't you experiment and let us cheapskates know. Paul G
satfrat, The ERS paper is conductive at the edge where the fibers are exposed. From all most any point on the edge to any other point you will measure 30ohms of resistance. This product will short things out if improperly utilized. A phone call to the Stillpoint people will verify this.
Robin, I would treat one component at a time, put it back into the system and evaluate. At this early point in my experimentation, I'm not sure, but you may get too much of a good thing if you treat everything at once. Then you would be faced with the uneviable job of trying to remove the sticky-sticky paper. May be best to temporarily tape the ERS in place and if all is well, stick it on permanently. I would start with your DVD/CD player first. Long live ERS! Long live tubes! Paul G
Robin, On your tube amps, temporarily try a piece of ERS between the transformers and the tubes. Hopefully your amp will obtain more crystaline highs and tighter bass associated with the best of solid state and still retain the magic of the tube's midrange. You'll be amazed by the difference.Paul G
If already mentioned before....please tell me again. What goes on first, a sheet of dampening material or ERS?
I would want to apply the dampening sheets first on the casing that your trying to soak up the internal vibrations from. Then the ERS to fight the EMI/RFI. Anyone have a different take on this? Regards, Robin
I have succeed in arcing with the ERS. I made a small roll to put over AC wire of my dac. Somehow the edge contacted the bare plugs on the AC and ZAP! A burned hole about the size of a quarter was instantly created. So yes, the edges are very conductive and more dangerous than they appear. Caution is warranted.
