cheapest cable upgrade ever

I have recently been playing with a very cheap upgrade of signal carrying cables: Attach one or two 1.5V AAA batteries with the ‘-‘ pole in the direction of the signal’s source. Simple strapping on with electrical tape) suffices, no need to connect anything. The benefits are very audible. The weak electric field conditions the outer layer of the conductor to improve electron flow, resulting in a strong increase in transparency and dimensionality. This works particularly well on the digital cable going into the router and streamer as well as the speaker cables (on the latter ‘+’ alligns with plus and ‘-‘ with minus, i.e. two batteries per single post speaker.

At a minimum it is a low cost bit of fun

Sort of like using copper wrist bracelets to treat arthritis.

Do you recommend the 5N copper or 6N for that? 🤣

There would seem to be a huge difference between 1.5v vs 72v.

Make sure to store it to freezer for at a minimum of 10 hours before use.  The freezing temperture will boost the superconductivity of the cable for audio fedelity enhancement.

Also, use Sith Audio’s audiophile AAA batteries for the best definition and imaging.

Why all the ridicule? We all likely have freaking AAA batteries and electrical tape sitting around in our drawers not being used for anything! How about trying it out for yourself with an open mind and then responding with your experience after a sufficient period of time? It costs you nothing other than your time already being used to listen to music anyway. Instead, a bunch of supposed adults act like children pushing over other children on the playground until they fall in line with the herd! My god people it is so tiring!

Another thing, @jasonbourne52 why are you always in the mix of people ridiculing others? Why bother interacting at all when you spend so much of your time bagging on others! Try being open to thinking outside of the box once in a while. I’m sure interested in trying from time-to-time way out there, very low cost tweaks from @mahgister. Why not?
