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

All of my batteries have the - facing the source flowing from - to + for my digital and interconnect cables and they sound great!  On my speaker the batteries + is facing the + post on speaker and - battery facing - post.  (My batteries are as close to source plug end as possible and close to the speaker posts).  Significant improvement for my systems.

Out of curiosity,I will more than likely try this.  The only thing I just struggle to understand is, how folks can pass judgment on a tweak that takes minutes,and almost no extra cost.  

So, I just reversed the batteries. Now I have the negative end of the battery facing towards the input. In this direction, I (think) I can detect a bit more articulation (but still not quite sure).

So, I guess try it in both directions?

Maybe it is an AC signal going to the speaker?

FWIW I use Audioquest speaker cable with the AA powered  DBS devices and gotta say the DBS is one thing that I have never noticed any difference with. 

I tried this with a couple of 12V car batteries. The improvement was unbelievable.
