RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive

Among the numerous ways of improving and analoguising (is there such a word?) sound from digital audio one very effective way is to put Acoustic Revive REM8 devices on all torroidal power supplies in the chain. I employ them on my Sean Jacobs DC3/4 PSU feeding the Antelope Zodiac Platinum and 10m clock, the Zerozone SS 2020 for the Etherregen as well as on the InnuOS Zenith Mk3. The effect is increased mellifluous and ‘breathy‘ sound with sharpened attack and decay as well as as a substantial deepening of the soundstage. Next to adding an Intona Isolator to the USB connection and inserting an Ocxo switch before the Etherregen it has been the best performing digital chain tweak. We don’t really understand EMI/RFI interference in digital audio yet, everything I undertake to limit or prevent it has paid substantial dividends.

Optical conversion has become my preferred isolation solution. You are correct, I have Trifield Meter, all digital components and power supply transformers give off relatively high levels of EMI/RFI, always good to eliminate as much as possible.

you might want to look into the beneficial effects of Quartz and Tourmaline in cleaning up electric currents as propagated by e.g Furutech‘s NFT products or Nordost, indeed Acoustic Revive et al

had no idea - been using natural crystalline Tourmaline round power cables and transformers for well over a decade now. Also has synergies with certain other devices. It has a grain almost like wood which makes it very directional in its application.

I have also had quite a lot of success with Citrine (a form of Quartz) and Fluorite, (which can have quite powerful effect), but applied rather differently
