36v, 72v active filter on AudioQuest IC


Are they good and actually work, or this is a hype?
Want to hear from AQ's owners who have tried them with models without the battery.

Which model is their entry level with this "battery" application?

Did any1 upgrade from model with 36v to model that equip't 72v and hear imprvoment?

For some reasons, I see AQ is over rated. Fake ones (Hdmi from HongKong) are all over eBay....

you can buy the 2-way splitter for almost no cost, they're around $10-$20 a pair. Try (Music Direct) website.
If upgrading to higher voltage will sound better, I assum it will sound cleanner, yes? Does that mean that it'd probably sound too clean, too detail (too bright?) that it'll break away from warmness and musicality and sounds more like others American made... like Krell? THanks
Dear Nguyen,
This may be a repeat E-mail as I have had multiple "FAILURE TO DELIVER e-MAIL MESSAGES" on my computer. I have 2 of the 72 volt DBS units, but I can not find any splitters at the internet stores. I am hopefull you will sell me your spare splitter cables. I very much want to experience your Audioquest upgrade. You might want to call me so I can send a money order or PayPal.
I appreciate your offer to send me the cables,
and I look forward to experiencing your upgrade.

I just bought a used pair of AQ Sky's. These are the earlier version with the two 36VDC DBS packs on each cable, presumably to make 72VDC using the splitters. I took some voltage measurements with my Fluke volt-ohm meter and measured only 36-37VDC through the splitters. This is on both cables mind you. I then measured 36-37VDC from each of the four DBS battery packs, to make sure they are functioning. Then I did some continuity checks to make sure the splitters were good. Indeed both are. Why the voltage drop, or should I say lack of voltage increase to 72 VDC the way it should be. Any ideas anyone.
