There is no sence in having 2 competing threads so I will ask Audiogon to delete this thread.

bemused,
Thank you so much for your input. I really appreciate that info. It explains a lot.
I would like to add that it is not just the low frequencies that are affected, the entire frequency spectrum is. There is way more air in the soundstage. Depth and width are as deep as I have ever heard, and I have a 85" Samsung in between my speakers! (Although the speakers are 8’+ out in the room).
Pretty impressive to say the least.

Well, I have been unable to get a Kemp unit to compare to the Sorcer. Oh well, I am very happy with the Sorcer. I wish more of you would try it.

The Sorcer works through the AC line and it also broadcasts through the room. It uses a algorithm to send a correction pulse through the AC line. At least that's what I understand. It consists of 4 large transformers and a toroidal transformer along with 3 circuit boards with led lights that are suppose to tune the unit frequency.
It looks like the Kemp unit broadcasts through the room and appears to be just crystal designed. I'll see if I can get a unit to try.
toetapaudio,
No the Sorcer is plugged into the wall but in the same outlet the Niagara is plugged into.

slaw,
Yes, I am aware of that unit. It doesn't appear to have much inside it, (electronics wise).

Milpai,
I own both, adding the Sorcer really increased the performance. I think they compliment each other very well. I need multiple outlets for my equipment so I have never tried it without the Niagara.

Another thing that should I add about the Sorcer X4.
I had been playing my Focal Sopra 2's speakers full range via Carver M350 mono blocks and I also have a couple of the JL F-113 subs in the corners that had been crossed over at about 75hz. The subs are used because I have my main speakers well out into the room and I like bass.
Since using the Sorcer I lowered the subs crossover point to 45hz and reduced there volume considerably.

toetapaudio,
Thanks for addressing this thread. I was beginning to think I was talking to myself! LOL!
Anyway, I found that the less shielding in the power cord the better. What a great power conditioner, if it can be called that.
At the moment it is placed in my 6 tier high verticle rack in the middle at about 36" off of the floor.
I am not quite sure exactly what the Sorcer is supposed to do or how it does it, but it does everything good in my audio world as I have described above.
P.S. My video also looks better on this floor level and the upper floors.
I wonder if my electric bill will go down?

Well this post doesn’t seem to be getting much traction but I am highly impressed with this product and I hope some of you get the opportunity to try it. The gent who I sent my demo unit to after I demoed it also bought a Sorcer after trying it.
A true demo with no up front money required to try it is the way to go in my opinion with these fringe type tweaks.
Highly recommended product. It really expands the soundstage and the image depth, width and specificality is dramatic. Bass quality is the best I have heard with my system. The claim to fame of this product is the way it corrects the electrical interference that is within our AC power. A different type of power conditioner if you will.

I'm now using a DIY power cord based on Acoustic BB design. That is; 12 gauge Dueland wire with a slight twist and with Furutech NCF fittings.
To me the lack of shielding in the power cord has improved the performance of the Sorcer.

slaw,
Thanks for your input (although kinda rough on those ole' Virbrapods) lol.
I have used many other types of footers. But the Sorcer seems to be different. Floating seems to work the best thus far. IMHO.
ozzy

slaw,
Understood. I have tried some Virbrapods as well. The springs seem to be the best so far.
I have been experimenting with power cords as well.

slaw,
Thanks for posting. The Sorcer probably weighs 45lbs. So the Stillpoints should be within there capability.
I think something that allows the Sorcer to float, not stabilize, works the best (so far).

toetapaudio,
Yeah, I think the springs work pretty good, better than my Stillpoints. They are also just the right size to go over the Sorcer footers.
Talking to Bill has just been through email, I believe he has been out of the country. Just got an email from him today.
So far placing a couple of Uptone LPS 1.2 linear power supplies (that powers my ISO Regen and SOtM) on top of the Sorcer did affect the sound quality. I don’t know if the Sorcer was affected or the power supplies. My guess it was the power supplies because the Sorcer has some huge transformers.

Sorry tried to edit my last post, but too late.
I noticed that the Sorcer has an even greater effect if it has soft footers underneath. So, I am currently using a thick sponge like material underneath instead of the $$$ Stillpoints Ultra footers.
That's why I thought I would also try Geoff springs.

I'm going to get a set of Geoff springs to try under the Sorcer X4.
