When listening through headphones i find granite blocks on my shoes or slippers really improve the bass , plus its easier than shoe or slipper spikes especially when getting up to go to the toilet.

Hey Jase, I took it as intended
. I was originally told about and shown the knot tying, so tried it myself and then looked up the website I was given, to then find it it was from Peter Belt. When I saw that I wasn't going to post anything, but then a track came on that had the described effect, then anothet and another so I decided, what the heck.

I know you dont suffer from placebo as neither do i, were on the same team mate ha

I have undone the knots as the original change to the sound of a greater sense of air movement in the headphones had become irritating. On certain bassy albums some bass definition had been lost, to be replaced with a 'chuffing' noise. An interesting experiment, but I prefer my cables unknotted.
idc:Mock away, I dont mind. All I know is that it has made a difference and in a way I was not expecting or listening for, so that kind of blows away the placebo argument. Anyway, what harm does it do to tie a little knot in your cable. Though for Gusboll that may take a few days..... http://community.whathifi.com/forums/t/307321.aspx

on a similar knot (i mean note) i recently tidied up the speaker cables on my second system which are about 4 meters too long. i simply coiled them up and then tied that coil in place with the loose end. i swore at the time that i heard a difference in the sound and immediately thought about what i had just done with the cables, but didnt really think much more about it... until now!
maybe it has something to do with resistance - anyone who owns an extension lead on a coil will have read the warning that the cable must be fully unravelled before being used or else it risks overheating. maybe the two are connected?

I would'nt be surprised, I have read elsewhere advice not to coil up cables too tightly. I was told with this experiment to that to get the benefit it had to be a reef knot loosely tied as in my picture above. Try it yourself with your speaker cables and see what you think. It would be good to get another contribution!

Your hi-fi might sound a little better if you run your cables back and forth without overlap rather than coiling them.
