It syas they have a 30-day guarantee, with shipping paid both ways. Why don't you order them, try it out and report back? That would probably be pretty fun.

Hmmmm. The technology page sucked me right in when it said "For all practical purposes, all amplifiers sound the same." Then it lost me again in the last section. To paraphrase it, they can't prove that their product improves the sound, and don't recommend that you overanalyze it. In other words, trust your ears.

i dunno about those but if you want to try some tweaks you really should try the reference audio wooden knob. Its a bit pricey at nearly 500 dollars but, according to the website its well worth it.


dont got a link tho

Clean, the "technical" explanation they make for their product makes no sense. If any such problem existed, I suspect that I would have seen it described in the writings of professional audio engineers which I've studied over the past few years. They appear to warn against wasting money on other audio products involving gross exaggerations or even outright scams so that the money is available and can instead be wasted on what they're peddling(knowing that a large number of those who try it still won't send it back). Don't fall for their line.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I dont get why they would want you to get it for the speakers, cd players and the preamp isnt that too much. I think the preamp is enough isnt it.

Consume... consume... let the fear of bad audio or audio that's not QUITE what it could be consume you... haunt you. Buy! Better audio now!

Er... sorry... kinda went more Hyde than Jekyll for a moment.

PMB, I read the last paragraph not as "don't overanalyze the sound" but rather "some things that we experience we don't have words for".

Which is on pretty firm footing.

Who knows if this is snake-oil or not, though.

I'd save the money. Any "quick fix" that claims to improve the range of something beyond it's capacity is snake oil.
