Add-Powr Power Conditioner Review

The owner of Add-Powr was doing business previously as QRT making a very similar product until he sold it to Nordost.  The Add -Powr products are unique in that they upgrade the power in your walls, not just what you plug into them. This review is for the $$ flaghship product but they have many others on their website.

I use two of his products (one from thge QRT line and one from Add-Powr) in my system and the benefits are cumulative, here is the review of the "Sorcr" in hifi+

As I've said, the closest, and at least scientifically based competitor to this is Richard Gray's Power Company. 

Anyone actually compared the two?

You have 0 idea on how to answer that until you plug it in yourself.

 

Sorry, you are so right. Just because it sounds exactly like gobbledygook masquerading as techno babble is no reason to dismiss it outright.

I don't recommend it for you, I think you will blow a gasket on how much other stuff you bought that didn't deliver the goods.

Well, you clearly know nothing about me, or my satisfaction with my purchases, but sure, carry on here like you know anything about me.

It surprises me that for a member with high standards like yourself

Oh, the faux gentility is just icing on this.

you just kind of dismiss it when it is in its own category, one you have 0 knowledge about or experience with.

Yep, that's exactly how they sell it.  It's so revolutionary and new that science can't even measure it's benefits...

The ADD-Powr Sorcer and Wizard are unlike traditional power conditioners. 

They are not filters, nor isolation transformers, nor power re-generation devices, nor inductive energy storage devices. They are harmonic resonators that "condition" AC power in a unique manner.

The layman's explanation is at the web site.

Harmonic resonators... where haven't I heard that a lot before in a hundred different ways...

You can't resonate if you have nearly zero input/output. 

At best it sounds like Richard Gray's devices.

Well, nothing in that review helps understand very much how the system works. Having said that, it sounds kind of like it might be (had to tell) like Richard Gray’s Power Company products, which, while effective, didn’t make quite such grandiose claims.

Also interesting to note the power consumption / limit of that box is 6W if I read the tag correctly. I don’t even see a breaker or fuse exposed.

So, a box with 50 mA of maximum current capability running on a single leg is claiming to fix all power in a home? Amazing.

 

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
