cheapest cable upgrade ever

For the people who have experienced an impact with this tweak, how close is the battery to any connector? Is it just before it, like 1-2” away? In the case of speaker cables, is there any benefit if the battery’s poles are in direct contact with the binding post?

This tweak seems to be a bit different from a physics standpoint from the AQ DBS system which I believe applies more of an electrostatic field to the entire dielectric of a cable, where this battery tweak might generate weaker electromagnetic fields around areas bound for leakage (at connection points). As such, this reminds me more of what Synergistic Research is doing with their Carbon Tuning Discs.

Great question. Personally I believe a battery or magnet is going to be better than a carbon disc. What would/could a thin carbon disc achieve even when treated with a unique UEF compound that interacts with EM fields, other than a justification placebo effect.

@pedroeb If you have not heard them, probably best not to assume the worst about them. I have tried a huge amount of Synergistic Research’s portfolio of goods and most made an audible improvement.

Your statement is reminiscent of “bigger is better”, not that that’s what you said by any means. But this is not always the case. If that compound helps promote flow in a more optimized way despite creating a smaller electromagnetic field than a 1.5V battery, that’s all that matters.

Likewise, synergy is everything. All it takes sometimes to remove the magic from my whole system is to switch a few of the tuning bullets in my Synergistic Research cables or move my speakers a 1/4”.

I have the batteries about 2 inches away from my spade connectors that attach to my speaker binding posts...No direct contact... On my rca cables...the battery on those are a bit closer to the connectors...1 inch or less. Best bang for the buck in tweakland that I have ever come across... Strange but true!

I can understand a battery or magnet creating a magnetic field, but I struggling to know what a coated discs does.

Having said that, I have an open mind and I'd love to have a listen, but without an explanation of what it does, I have a closed wallet.
