Any thoughts about the RR-888

Weird and more than a little creepy.

Not sure I would take the plunge, regardless of favourable reviews.

If I want to alter my reality, I think I will stick with a nice red wine.

I owned the Acoustic RR-888, RR 777 and the RR 77 for years. And to me, they made the soundstage seem to be larger. Through the years I have changed components and speakers, but I never moved the Acoustic Revive items, until recently...

As I removed the Acoustic Revive units (now with my present setup), I did not notice any change. Perhaps it's because I now have Planar type speakers and room treatment is not as important as with previous box speakers,

I ended up selling them all and frankly don't miss them.

I stumbled across this thread a few days ago, did a bunch of internet reading guided by AI and thought what the heck, bought the $55 Douk Audio wood box version vs the $$$ audiophile unit.  It arrived today, plugged it in, 5 feet high just slightly left behind the speakers. And…when I switch on/off in quick comparison “I don’t think that I think I can tell a difference.”  Nothing really in a quick A/B comparison.

HOWEVER, for some reason I do like the music with it on vs off.  My system is not super expensive, but I’ve got speaker placement dialed in, big tube amp driving Klipschorns with superb imaging and soundstage. Damn, my rig sure sounds good tonight!  Rich, lush detail, sparkling highs, superb midrange vocals, instrument separation and location but in a coherent way. Live recordings with audience clapping sounds like I’m in the middle of them.

Snake oil, placebo effect, science, or whatever…I definitely like it on vs off!
