Here's to (hear! hear!) your ongoing intense emotional connection "to the sound and the music."
I have had the ADD Powr Wizard in my system for a couple of weeks and I'm impressed
All of which brings me to this review of the ADD Powr Wizard. What I keep returning to over and over again with this thing plugged into a nearby outlet is how intense my emotional connection to the sound and the music is. To use a well worn audio writer cliche, It's like I'm listening to my collection for the first time and hearing things I never heard before. But it is so much more than that. It's not just that I am hearing more of what is on the record it is that I am hearing more of what the artists on the record are intending to create with their music. The ADD Wizard allows me to do this more completely than any other addition to my system over the last 10 years. It lets me fully relax into the music. With all my other tweeks, at least the good ones, the ones that work, I was able to get a better sense of space and detail each time I added one. The benefit of the Wizard is on a different plane than that. Yes it adds to the sense of space and detail in the sound, but it also creates a stronger impression about the music itself. It's a feeling of being one with the music. Hard to describe but very powerful!
You will have to read the literature to get a sense of what ADD Powr is doing with its algorithms and how they are being applied to the household electric circuit in order to filter out the audio nasties so that the music can come shining through in all its glory . That part of the review is way above my pay grade. I would love to be able to understand that. But hey that's what makes tweeks so much fun. The fact that you may not understand the electronic or physics of it doesn't mean that you are not hearing amazing things from it. And in the case of the ADD Powr Wizard what I am hearing just makes me smile.

@marc777 I meant ’outside of this thread’...out in the audio universe, far far beyond Audiogon. : ) |
@ozzy It is my understanding that it varies by system and placement. I’d reach out to Bill for a better understanding / application for your situation. I’ve chosen to keep the top on. I'll PM you. I’ve deleted my previous post. After re-reading...it comes off different than I intended. Here’s the second try: Happy to hear your outcome @marc777
