Alien Tweak Audio WOODY
Alien Tweak Audio does it again!
With our newest family member
WOODY!
Rare Exotic Camphor Burl Wood Body.
If your looking for a wood body for your Denon 103 or 103R you can find (what we consider way over priced wood bodies) However, if you want something more. Then look no further.
We have the only convertible wood bodies out there.
What do we mean by convertible? Our burl wood bodies can be used in two ways !
Open body like all you see on Ebay.
(Although we dont recommend an open body design, our sources in Japan wont either.)
Here's a few drawbacks to this design. if the wood body is a press fit design, You simply insert your very expensive cartridge inside the body and mount it. Bodies we've seen can allow the cartridge to simply fall our of the body.
The cartridge is exposed to the elements and vibrations which simply muddies this wonderful cartridge. (But if you like it, here you go...)
Wood needs to expand and contract with different climates.
Resonance control is lost due to how a wood body is made(Simply put there is none).
After talking with Denon of Japan, we came up with a better solution to a number of problems.
The cartridge is installed in the body and only the stylus is exposed....Like the OEM body.
Then WE went one step further and installed our resonance control pad, again recommended by Denon to control resonance.
Held in place by very thin double faced tape. We don't recommend gluing your cartridge in place. There are slight imperfections to the inside of the body. Which is a given to any wood body.
Makes no difference in the quality or sound. We tested many different exotic woods and there is a difference. Wood resonates at different frequencies some wood responds better than others.
We wanted wood that complimented the Denon 103 and 103R.
We believe, We found what we were listening for. Utilizing the most sophisticated test equipment there is.....Our Ears!
Alien Tweak Audio (Woody)
1 Our Woody is hand crafted.
2 Made with rare imported Camphor Burl from Laos. We don't sell different wood bodies for Denon 103 or 103R. We wanted just one, that was functional and beautiful.
3 Oiled and polished to bring out the true beauty of the burl.
4. Brass resonance control pad tapped with 2.5mm holes.. Brass screws included. Nothing works like brass! Don't be fooled by others selling a thin piece of wood stock. Dare to compare.
5. Comes in a beautiful wood display case.
6. Cartridge, body and pad weight in at 13grams. Make sure your tonearm will accommodate the extra weight.
7. Our Woody adds a warm flavor to the 103 or 103R Our resonance pad is made just for Alien Tweak Audio (Woody) Brings out the best in our Woody
8. Made in the U.S.A.
Alien Tweak Audio. Backs all it's products with outstanding customer service. (Before or after you purchase our products) You have questions. we have answers
Please note: These pictures were taken with our donor 103.
Denon of Japan does not recommend any modifications to their products.

Alien Tweak Audio G-Spec
Added another product is
Myth 1 Grease attracts dirt
Magnets attract, greases don’t. Dirt does stick to grease, but that means the grease is doing its job. Connector lubricants create an environmental barrier, so dirt, dust, and moisture stay away from the contact surface. Without this protection, contact metals oxidize more quickly.
Myth 2 Lubricants interfere with conductivity
Tests on lubricated and unlubricated connectors show virtually no difference in contact resistance. A contact surface is a series of microscopic peaks and valleys.
Current only flows through the asperities. A contact lubricant fills in the valleys, protecting the metal from oxidation, and is squeezed out of the asperities, allow-ing the current to flow.
Myth 3 Gold-plated contacts don’t need grease
Contact manufacturers typically apply a thin gold plating on a substrate metal. The plating is microscopically porous and can easily be compromised, even during initial mating. Over time, oxides of the exposed substrate can “ooze” through the pores of unlubricated gold plating and cause open circuit resistance. A thin film of lubricant, which costs far less than a thicker layer of gold, seals those pores and guards against scratches and substrate oxidation.
Fact 1 Lubricants prevent corrosionWithout lubricant protection, contact metals are extremely susceptible to corrosion. Lubricants seal contacts from oxygen, moisture, aggressive gasses and other hostile elements. In applications where the connector is exposed to the elements, filling the connector housing with grease before mating is also recommended. The grease acts as a back-up environmental seal.
Fact 2 Lubricants lower insertion forceA thin film of lubricant reduces mating force by as much as 80 percent. For multi-pin connectors or connectors in hard-to-reach places, low insertion force ensures solid connections and efficient assembly. Lubricants can also bring connectors into compliance with USCAR insertion force standards.
Fact 3 Lubricants dissipate the effects of micro-motionContact metals are subject to “fretting corrosion” — abrasion resulting from low amplitude vibration caused by motion or thermal expansion and contraction.
Abraded metal can build up and break the connection. A lubricant minimizes metal-to-meta wear,
protecting the contact from fretting corrosion.
Fact 4 Lubricants save money
Lubricants improve the performance and extend the operating life of electrical contacts. Consequently, lubricants reduce warranty costs, and improve a brand’s quality image.
price $9.50 for introduction price

~VIRTUALLY FROM ANOTHER WORLD~
Alien Tweak Audio G-spec Gel" Contact Enhancer
G-spec contact enhancer is used on all your equipment. You spend thousands on your equipment But, leave all your cables and power plugs open to the environment . Dust, dirt, smoke, moisture and simple wear and tear all have an adverse effect on your equipment.
Simply plug and unplug your RCA jacks a few times and you will see wear on the parts.
This will have an adverse effect on your sound or picture quality. Here are just some applications where G-spec Contact enhancer is most beneficial. Tube sockets, RCA plugs and jacks, speaker connections and interconnect cables, power plugs and wall sockets. to name just a few.
If you are using a popular oil based lubricant on all your interconnects. You'll notice a difference in sound quality. However as the oil lubricant dries out you'll notice that as well. G-spec contact enhancer is not an oil based product and will not dry out . your music will sound full and clean, Your picture quality will pop.
Use it on all your connections, anywhere two metals mate to complete a circuit. You'll hear, see and feel the difference.
How many times have forced on or off an RCA jack simple because they are too tight . Look at damage, pulling it on or off. The female jack is usually scratched or damaged. This happens to me all the time. sound quality and a solid connection is lost . Not anymore!
This is a nonconductive gel and will not cause any cross contamination issues. There's no worries about shorting out one of your components. Never use any lubrication on electrical parts that is a conductor. it's just too easy for it to migrate into another part of your system and could very well short out the entire system. When all you wanted was better sound and picture quality. G-spec contact enhancer is the answer.
G-spec comes in a lip balm sized container which is enough to do at least a hundred plus applications.
Remember a little goes a long way. A thin coating is all that is needed.
We also include a brush for easy application.
Just brush it on and connect ( Now, pull it on and off a few times and you'll know what we are talking about.) No more sound or picture degradation, no more damaged connectors or wires. It's that easy.
We use it on all our applications.
Every speaker cable, interconnect, power cables, home theater.
We also include G-spec contact enhancer for all our car audio speaker kits.
Try it on your Turntable phono cartridge pins you will notice a difference in insertion ease and sound quality. If you change out cartridges as much as I do you can really appreciate just how it works.
No more broken inserts or broken wires.
I know this has happened to you, pull with a tweezer slip off and good bye wire.
Please take a moment to read the Myths and Fact sheet. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Although we didn't write this info we thought is was beneficial and fun facts to know.

Alien Tweak Audio Blue Phono Lube
Introducing a few new products from Alien Tweak Audio
Alien Tweak Audio 100% synthetic BLUE PHONO LUBE.
For all Turntables, Automatic or belt drive.
If you are using lithium or a white based petroleum grease
DON’T!!!
Our 100% synthetic Blue Phono Lube is far superior to any Turntable grease available.
Why?
Alien Tweak Audio 100% synthetic BLUE PHONO LUBE.
WON’T CAKE, DRY OUT or HARDEN with time.
While petroleum based grease turns brown and hardens over time.
Sticky automatic turntable?
Clean off the old hard grease, Apply a small amount of
Alien Tweak Audio 100% synthetic Blue phono Lube,
wherever the old grease was used.
Our synthetic gets into places petroleum grease can't .
You will notice a smoother operation almost immediately.
How about all the belt drive turntables? Or Noisy platter bearings?
As bearings age, especially permanently oiled bronze bearings,
They tend to get loud.
This is because
1. The bearing is worn
2. The oil has simply dried out.
Once this happens being wear is inevitable
You can add oil to them but they still sound noisy.
You can hear it as soon as you drop the stylus on the L.P.
What you are hearing is
the worn bearing noise being transferred to the tonearm.
Alien Tweak Audio synthetic Blue Phono Lube fills the gap between bearings and the platter .
L.Ps will sound quieter
It will also make your L.Ps sound more dynamic.
Because there is less drag on your platter.
Try our
Alien Tweak Audio 100% Synthetic Blue Phono Lube
Comes in
3ml clear jar (you can apply more than 5TT)
With Applicator brush (6inch)
You can buy this at

Demagnitize your cartridge
Directions: Install your brass pad under the cartridge.
Tightened down the mounting screws, don’t over tighten
the screws. Should be tight but you should be able to make slight adjustments to the cartridge
over tightening the screws will sound muddy and lifeless.
Once mounted to the headshell and installed to the tonearm, due to the extra weight you will have to re-adjust the tonearm counter weight. Once this is complete, set the weight gauge to whatever the cartridge
grams should be.
Demagnetizing the cartridge:
Your cartridge should be demagnetized from time to time.
To demagnetize your cartridge you simply unplug the TT cables from the phono stage
Put a record on the TT and let it play
Now take the cable ends of the TT while the record plays and touch them together
Positve to the negative of each one together.
Note picture: hold them together while the record is playing from 45secs to 60secs.
That’s it, now plug the cables back into the phonostage.
And enjoy the music.

Cartridge instruction
I told you about "before up grading your cartridge" I want you to try our product.
Hey! Good Cartridge will cost you enough make your wife bite you. But our product is around $20 with free shipping.
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW???
Instructions:
1. Install stylus protection cover over your stylus, If the stylus can be removed better still.
The Alien Tweak Audio resonance control kit is simply inserted between the head shell and cartridge.
If you resonance control kit came with screws please use the brass screws. They should be a little longer to accommodate the thickness of the resonance control pad.
We are installing our pad into a SME 3009 head shell. Using supplied brass screws and a vintage Sonus Gold cartridge. You will need tweezers to pull the wires off your cartridge or install them, and a small screwdriver.
Please note: We have removed the shell connect wires for easier viewing, You don’t have to remove your wires.
After removing your cartridge . Install the pad into the head shell as follows
Install the pad into the headshell (illustation1)
Install one screw with the nut attached. (see Illustration 2)
Install your cartridge back into the headshell (illustration 3)
Install the screw and nut to hold the cartridge and pad in place.
Note when tightening the screws do not over tighten the screws. Doing so, will make your cartridge sound dull and lifeless. A little more the finger tight works best. If you can move the cartridge with a little more than a slight push, That’s about perfect.
It’s almost ready to go!
Re-install your wires to the cartridge.
Install your head shell to the tonearm.
Rebalance the tone arm to zero. The arm with cartridge installed should float in mid air. Zero weight. Now simply adjust for the weight of your cartridge set the weight to your cartridge factory specs. If it’s one gram than you set it at one gram. Do not compensate for the pad.
Demagnetize your cartridge. (See illustration) This is a nice tweak and it’s free.
NOTE: Every cartridge and tonearm may have a different way to install your cartridge or your headshell may not be removable. Please refer to the factory manual for installation instuctions. You are now ready to enjoy your purchase.
Welcome to Alien Tweak Audio Family, We welcome your questions or comments.
