RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive

Among the numerous ways of improving and analoguising (is there such a word?) sound from digital audio one very effective way is to put Acoustic Revive REM8 devices on all torroidal power supplies in the chain. I employ them on my Sean Jacobs DC3/4 PSU feeding the Antelope Zodiac Platinum and 10m clock, the Zerozone SS 2020 for the Etherregen as well as on the InnuOS Zenith Mk3. The effect is increased mellifluous and ‘breathy‘ sound with sharpened attack and decay as well as as a substantial deepening of the soundstage. Next to adding an Intona Isolator to the USB connection and inserting an Ocxo switch before the Etherregen it has been the best performing digital chain tweak. We don’t really understand EMI/RFI interference in digital audio yet, everything I undertake to limit or prevent it has paid substantial dividends.

If you are a man of science you might want to look into the beneficial effects of Quartz and Tourmaline in cleaning up electric currents as propagated by e.g Furutech‘s NFT products or Nordost, indeed Acoustic Revive et al rather than

indiscriminately diss stuff you don‘t know. A bit of research sometimes helps against preconceived notions.

So do I, they are complementary and Rem-8 actually has the stronger effect

I am not a physiscist but they are active rather than passive devices generating electromagnetic fields from a coil and therby neutralising EFI transmissions from power supply transformers. Alledgedly they are also meant to improve output transformers in valve amps, on my Wavac though that isn‘t the case.
