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

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?

It's hard to tell if these kinds of threads are for the humour or are they trolling? There's no way this is serious.

@antigrunge2  thanks for sharing sounds fun will give it a go!

This is what I feel this hobby is all about.  Experimenting with different products/tweaks makes for more sustainable enjoyment.  I especially like cheap diy ideas but will spend moderate $’s for significant gain.   Buying new components gets you in the right game but the fun is getting the most out of them especially on the cheap.   Using some of these tweaks has gotten mind bending improvements out of my systems I didn’t think possible while saving thousands on component upgrade chasing.    Not all are winners but my big winners have been: diy ground boxes for speakers and select components, fmc- optical cable- fmc between router and streamer, fuses from QSA and China made fuses filled with graphene/quartz crystals, AQ jitterbug on usb, diy VH audio power cables, 12TC speaker wire chinese copy of Kimber Kable, nobsound springs on speakers/ components,  Nos ‘50-60’s ebay tubes,  Nps 1260 3d contact enhancer, diy helmholtz resonator bottle array and diy argent room lens.

Fun stuff no matter what the naysayers throw out.  Noticeable SQ improvement that builds along the journey.

Just so I understand this correctly: you are attaching a 1.5V battery (or more) across the speakers' connectors -- is that correct? You are effectively sending a DC signal to the speakers?
