Game Changing Tweak

I bought a pair of electrical devices called Electraclear from a company called AddPowr. They're simply plugged into an electrical outlet that's shared by your system. I paid under $300 for them and they've boosted my system's fidelity dramatically. In the 1800's,  a physicist and mathematician, Joseph Fourier, delved into the science of harmonics, and now the founder of AddPowr used these equations to increase the signal to noise ratio. (more signal=less noise) His devices act as harmonic resonators. He worked for a high-end audio cable company before focusing on this new range of products.
   I thought that when I first received the Electraclears, the difference would be subtle. To my surprise and delight, it was a stunning change. I was hearing music from the inside out. Cleaner, more dynamic, and a far greater and noticeable improvement than my power conditioner produces.
   I love finding inexpensive audio devices that work. The company makes other products, but I'd recommend a pair of Electraclears to start.

I do not know about the device in question but I have learned from experience over the years that if you are trying to solve a problem it’s best to look for solutions that are well understood. Oh and it often involves science and other things that you learn in school. That’s probably the systems engineer in me talking. Trial and error can work also but usually takes longer and cost more. Sometimes it might never end. Sound familiar?

The products we're discussing were developed over years of sophisticated research, using all of the instruments that meter/measure electrical signal.
Then where's the data?

The mfg rambles on about Fourier, so do an FFT on the line and the program w&wo the gadget. For under a C note, one can obtain a PC based scope that will do FFT.

He's set up award winning rooms at audio shows for years.
Said rooms almost universally have the most gawd awful sonics.

"Said rooms almost universally have the most gawd awful sonics."   That's the dumbest post I have yet to read here. You're a complete ignoramus to make a statement like that. If you can't afford the price of a ticket to an audio show, then you certainly can't test drive anything in the audio market even with a money back guarantee. Save up some money from your newspaper route, buy the units and come back here informed. Anything other than that is juvenile.

Sunshine, I was in the audio field for 20+ years. I have a Grammy nomination, a patent, invented the Vocal Splicer, designed and built 5.1 scoring monitors, was head of Analog R&D for AMS-Neve, consulted for the biggest names in the industry.

I endured, never enjoyed, more shows than I can forget.

Universally, when people who know live acoustic music hear my system they are blown away by how musical it is and make comments like "Wow. Wow! Awesome!! Joe Pass is sitting right there!" "Man, your system is so precise!" on hearing Warren Zevon ’Werewolves of London’ "Who needs concerts?" on hearing Queen ’Bohmenian Rhapsody’ "Man, it’s like I could walk up and sit in." said a jazz guitarist on hearing Ben Webster ’Remember Me’
