wisper,
I used usb. I got a good deal on a couple of WireWorld Platinum 8 usb cables. One cable comes from my hard drive to the I/O unit and the other to my Lumin X1.
It is also sitting on top of the Lumin in which the proximity of the unit is supposed to be important because it does have a radiated field.
I also have a couple of ethernet cables for my streaming connected to it.

I will state again the new ADD-PWR I/O unit is awesome! I am using it on usb cabling between my 8TB Hard drive which has all my Hi Rez music and my Lumin X1. The soundstage widens and deepens, very impressive.
It also has provisions to use it with ethernet cable.
And, even my wife has noticed the picture improvement. Yes, it's true!

Thank you for your ongoing input, I appreciate it.

marc777, tweakmenow,
It must be that the metal is acting as a shield.

marc777,
I just bought a thin piece of glass cut to size for the Sorcer X4.

bemused,
Congrats!
I seem to keep my setting at the high setting. Have you ever used the lower settings?
And, do you turn it off after use?

marc777, Thank you for that info. I should get the clear plastic cover tomorrow. Gotta love those swirling lights...
Do you turn it off after use?

marc777, david_ten, or who can answer
So, I just ordered a piece of clear plastic 12 x18 1/8" thick. I guess I will need to trim it a little.
The metal top has vent slots in it, should the plastic also have vent hole(s) in it?

I have a QSA red fuse in mine.
ozzy

Yeah, the circling lights is quite a show!

I just tried it with the top off and I don’t notice any difference. Is it something that will take sometime or is the change instantaneous?

Since I really like the Sorcer X4 that I have, I just bought the new item just released from Add-POWR, it is called the SYMPHONY I/O. And it is listed at 1/2 off during the introduction!
It is designed to be used with usb or ethernet cables. I hooked it up to my Lumin X1 and to my external hardrive. The more traditional use would probably be at the modem say to a Uptone Regen or similar device for streaming.
Thus far I am really digging it. I also connected it to my Apple TV and it really improved the video quality as well.
Highly recommended!

agisthos, That sounds about right.

bemused, Some other tweaks for the future or when funds allow that helps with the Sorcer. Experiment with the power cord. I have found that premium or highly insulated power cords are not always the best. I now use a DIY power cord with Dueland unshielded wire.
Also, try some footers, I have found that the springs that Geoff sells to work quite well under mine.

That's great to hear. Enjoy!

bemused, I have mine placed near the audio equipment about 3 feet off the floor. It's plugged into the same wall duplex that my Audioquest Niagara 7000 is plugged in. Please try it nearer to your equipment before you settle at the breaker box.

I also believe ADD-Powr offers a 30 day return policy.

I own the Sorcer X4 and it has become an important part of my system. BTW, I found that the springs that Geoff sells worked better under it compared to the Stillpoints Ultra SS.
