Game Changing Tweak

Here’s the deal... and it’s simple. My industry is probably more riddled with snake oil than any other, though not quite as pricy as some of the exotic oils in the Audio Game.... here is my answer when asked if I think product x “works”. Do you feel a difference as described? If yes, then guess what? It works. Even if it is 100% BS intellectually... if you hear it, it works. Doesn’t matter why. Enjoy the goods.

As for the rest of you:

If I removed from my system everything that cannot be adequately explained scientifically to the satisfaction of certain people here my system would degenerate to the point it would be merely clearly superior to theirs. Then if I were to also remove everything they think has to be double-blind proven to work even after being scientifically explained (because, I know, makes no sense- but you never know with these people) minus all that my system would be merely somewhat better, sort of. But not better in the 'whole other realm' 'what were you thinking' 'as if' kind of way it is now. Gape. Drool cup. Rock your world.

All thanks to a bunch of stuff nobody can explain but everyone can easily hear.

Here is a perfect example: https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367
Take a real good look at picture #10. Compare closely with #41 & #42. In particular, pay real close attention to all the boxes and every single wire. Study each one. I am not giving it away. People need to learn to think for a change. There's something very unusual going on that should make anyone with a lick of sense stand up and go WTF?!? But it won't. Because  for all the techno blather of the posers pretending to be all sciency, they don't have the first clue what they're looking at. Follow the wires. Its that simple. 

I spotted it this time last year, or rather pieced it together reading people's comments.

Easy if you know anything about electricity. Otherwise, impossible. Which yes that's a challenge. Put your money where your mouth is. Prove you have half a clue. Point out the puzzling odd whatever. If you can find it.

Talked to the manufacturer, confirmed no one else got it, including even the electricians who installed The Gate, which is another highly effective audio enigma.

You are indeed wise fleschler to go with what you hear and to not worry overly much with what you can explain. Not a one of these guys demanding explanations has the slightest clue what's going on in those photos, so why should we care what they think? 

Seriously. Its right there in the pictures. Figure it out, sciency guys. If you can. 😂

The only interesting thing I noticed from the link is that if you clicked on the "Read Less" hyperlink, a lot of the BS would go away.

"Game changing tweak" is oxymoronic, or maybe just ordinary moronic.  Some hobbies attract Kool-aid drinkers more than others.  Audio is the top of the heap.  Imagine trying to sell something like this to an amateur radio operator.  You couldn't get a vial of snake oil into a ham shack, even with a "free returns" policy - because they understand the technology.    He'll hook the power line up to an oscilloscope and SEE if it makes a difference.  You won't sell him magic liquid to rub on his antenna coax; a mat or little pointy things to set his RF amp on;  or a mic cable that will make his signal punch harder.  Maplewood, crystals, or random weights to set about?  The market would be zero.

I think I'll just change the frequency, Kenneth.

So no-one's allowed to have an opinion until they've bought every piece of pseudo scientific junk they can lay their hands on but you're able to compare the performance of your system to theirs using only your imagination and absurd sense of superiority. 

something very unusual going on that should make anyone with a lick of sense stand up and go WTF?!?

I agree with this bit... I did say WTF when I saw the rats nest of cables and random pieces of carbon fibre that would be much better employed in an application that suits their material properties (like a bike frame).

This isn't a competition, people came here to be informed... that involves asking questions and challenging the answers. Incidentally if it wasn't for 'sciency guys' you wouldn't have anything to plug your interconnects into.

@ladickinson

A dose of skepticism is healthy and even constructive. You're just a blowhard. The products we're discussing were developed over years of sophisticated research, using all of the instruments that  meter/measure electrical signal.  ADDPowr's approach asks "What has been missed?" in examining the properties of electricity. Turns out that a lot has been overlooked and more insight into its mysteries are sure to come. Your posturing as a debunker is a weak cover for your technical ignorance, and I would wager that you don't have the expertise or talent to design anything of worth.
  I was introduced to ADDPowr by an audiophile who owns the Sorcer by ADDPowr and considers it an essential component in his system. He's set up award winning rooms at audio shows for years.   I trust his audio opinion over yours a thousandfold.
