Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek

Hey ozzy, have you tried the Sonic Tonic on your tv power cables? I took Mike at Tweek Geek up on his 30 trial for the Sonic Tonic and while I wasn’t too crazy about the change in sound it did for my stereo system I found it does increase clarity on the picture of my Panasonic tv. And it’s something that’s very quick to discern, no long settling process. I got used to the great picture that I ended up keeping the Sonic Tonic.

-Just saw your original post where you indeed tried it on your video. I currently have two bottles on the tv cable and two on the oppo cable. Which by the way I've been using the Furutech DPS-4 on my tv. I think it's the first cable to outperform the Cerious in my system. Waiting to put more time on it before putting it on my integrated amp.

t_ramey,

Yes, I have the Sonic Tonic on my TV, Satellite receiver power input and on the HDMI's inputs. Great improvement in video quality.

On the audio side you do have to experiment with where to place them. The effect is quite powerful. Too many can squelch the dynamics. I found them to be beneficial on the Amp ends, and on the subwoofer power IEC's ends. I also placed one before the power conditioners (Core Tech 300/1800).
Since all of my AC/IEC ends are now of the Furutech NCF versions I placed the Sonic Tonics on the cord before the Furutech connectors. But again experimentation is the key.

They seem to do best on areas with lots of power cords. Such as outlet strips and such. I placed one on my Circuit breaker box and intend to remove the cover and place them on the incoming power lines and on my dedicated breakers.
Get the electrical hash out at the source...

Very nice. I'm going to try them on the speaker terminals next to see what happens. Interesting on putting them on the cable before the connector. I'd figure they're best closer to the connection but as you say experimention is key. Thanks

How can Sonic Tonic remove electrical hash in power cables if it’s simply resting on the connectors? Unless either the Sonic Tonic has some ability to attract RF from inside the power cord or the signal is traveling on the outside of the power cord, both of which seem highly unlikely. Maybe it’s a vibration issue. Hmmmmm...😳 Or......Magic? 🐇

Mike at Tweek Geek told me the "material" is suspended in epoxy that is cured or dried inside the bottle. When he makes his power cables with it he embeds it into a silicone glue that he applies inside the connectors. I thought it was more vibration control at first but it could effect rmf/emi as well as the result or effect is very immediate. This is definitely audio voodoo at its best.

Well here's what's said on Tweek Geeks site...

 Inside each bottle of Sonic Tonic is a blend of materials solidified in epoxy that together are activated by electromagnetic fields. Once activated, they work to reduce noise and distortion caused by high emf, eddy currents, and hysteresis.
