Audio Magic Pulse Gen products

Has anyone tried the Audio Magic Pulse Gen products?
I have located a few reviews but not much recent activity.

I understand they emit a signal that is to reduce or eliminate RFI/EMI that is riding on the cables.

Well, I just installed the "speaker clarifiers" to my DIY speaker cables and thus far I am really impressed. I am hearing better tonal qualities. That is,voices and instruments are much more real or whole sounding. And the soundstage is way deeper, allowing the sound to identify where each instrument is located in the mix.

So, I went ahead and ordered 4 of the Pulse Gen modules that go inside of components and I will be installing them in the next few weeks.

I plan on doing a full review of these products once they are installed, but I still wonder why there has not been much talk of these products on Audiogon.

Since its been a while that I have had the speaker clairifiers attached to my DIY speaker cables I decided to take them out.

When I did I couldn't tell any difference? Huh???
To the point that I actually listed them for sale for a few days.

Then on a hunch, I jammed them in between my biwire binding posts and the magic returned! So, I cancelled my ad.

Now, is it because they were unplugged for several days that caused the improvement or was it because placing them on my speaker binding posts...???

I should add that I have added the Synergistic XOT to the speaker binding posts, perhaps that is why the improvement when I moved the Clairifiers to the binding posts.

Any thoughts on this? Perhaps they need to be unplugged for a while to recharge?

Ozzy, I have my speaker clarifiers on the binding posts. Once I was listening and something wasn't right. I found that one of the speaker clarifiers had fallen off and was on the floor. I put it back on and after about 30 minutes everything returned to normal.

These cancel EMI/RFI not just in the cables, but also in the immediate vicinity of the clarifiers. EMI/RFI is very likely not a constant, so it may be that on a good day, you can remove them and not hear a difference, but on a bad day, you wish you had them back.

I tend to hang on to stuff once I am convinced it makes a difference, until and unless I find something else that addresses the same need better or cheaper.

I also have a PEA on both of my speakers just over the crossovers. I noticed that the balance was just not quite right. Turns out one of the switches was off.

I am wondering if anyone has tried a Pulse Gen module inside
a surround sound processor. I have an Integra DHC 80.3 and was thinking it might be helpful there.
