cheapest cable upgrade ever


I have recently been playing with a very cheap upgrade of signal carrying cables: Attach one or two 1.5V AAA batteries with the ‘-‘ pole in the direction of the signal’s source. Simple strapping on with electrical tape) suffices, no need to connect anything. The benefits are very audible. The weak electric field conditions the outer layer of the conductor to improve electron flow, resulting in a strong increase in transparency and dimensionality. This works particularly well on the digital cable going into the router and streamer as well as the speaker cables (on the latter ‘+’ alligns with plus and ‘-‘ with minus, i.e. two batteries per single post speaker.

At a minimum it is a low cost bit of fun

When you say you added multiple batteries, were they connected so they produced a higher voltage; for example, 8 x 1.5v = 12v.

 

The original suggestion was to attach one or two 1.5V AAA batteries with the ‘-‘ pole in the direction of the signal’s source.

Is anyone aligning them differently?

Amir attempted to test an AudioQuest Victoria Audio Cable with DBS Review and commented "How energizing an insulator traps RF works is based on principles above any known physics so don't know how to test that without alien technology. But we will test to see if noise is reduced in audio spectrum which is what we hear."

Great question. Personally I believe a battery or magnet is going to be better than a carbon disc. What would/could a thin carbon disc achieve even when treated with a unique UEF compound that interacts with EM fields, other than a justification placebo effect.

I can understand a battery or magnet creating a magnetic field, but I struggling to know what a coated discs does.

Having said that, I have an open mind and I'd love to have a listen, but without an explanation of what it does, I have a closed wallet.
