ADD POWR Sorcer X4, Apprentice and Symphony I/O

So now that I have had an ADD POWR Vivid Coax, and one of the HDMI units for a few weeks, I think I can comment on the effectiveness of these units.

The video on my Samsung 85" is remarkable! It has really not only brightened the image but sharpened it and the colors are excellent! It is not a hyped-up contrast or sharp edge picture but is very natural. And strangely even though the Vivid coaxial unit is on my outside antenna, it is still plugged into my Satellite receiver and the video on the satellite reception has improved, huh?

My wife who rarely comments on my Audio/Video passion even has noticed the improvement.

I just wish Bill could make a coaxial unit that can be directly compatible with my Dish Satellite and a HDMI unit for my OPPO 205.

Highly recommended!

illusion,

I tried your suggestion and there was no improvement that I could tell.

You seem to be closely involved with the ADD POWR company, are you the spokesman?

I found this on the internet about the Oppo HDMI output.

Oppo 205 VIDEO OUTPUT:

1x HDMI 2.0 w/HDCP 2.2

Yet, I am using an 8K HDMI cable successfully. (However, still won’t work with the Add Powr Vivid unit).

I must admit this is all confusing.

In response to your current statement.

1. The reason you finally agreed to the discount was because I was buying 3 units at the same time.

2. Somewhere on your website you should caution folks that it will not work with Satellite equipment.

3. Not sure why it does not work with an Oppo 205, many people probably have similar units.

4. And yeah, I believe if it does not work YOU should pay for the return shipping.

So, I received the 3 units and can provide these comments.

The Coaxial unit does not work with my Satellite (Dish) (no signal) but does work with my outside antenna.

One of the HDMI units worked ok with my Satellite HDMI connection but not with my Oppo 205 HDMI connection. (No signal)

Where it works, it is impressive, but I am disappointed in its short comings. Bill from ADD POWR is aware and before I send the units back for refund, I am giving him a chance to rectify if possible. Maybe I will wait a week.

Disappointed also in the fact that he wants me to pay for return shipping. Not much money I guess but I already paid for the units shipping cost to me.

I already own a Symphony I/O unit, and the 8 outlet Powr Bar for my modem, EtherRegen and other etc. equipment.

So hopefully these additionally units will also help with my video system.

I just ordered 2 HDMI and one coaxial unit.
