i took all of these batteries off my speaker cables and just one AAA battery on my USB cable into the DAC. sound was too compressed and too much high end and edge
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

@tweakmenow Glad you had an open mind to try it and it made an improvement. So simple and cheap. Interesting how it affects some systems and not others. I did a blind test just to verify it was legit and confirmed these batteries were making a SQ improvement. Cheers! |
