Wow, That's surprising. The owner (Mike) has always worked well with me, even providing trades! Highly recommended.

Sorry, Pops settle down.
The topic that I posted is about the Sonic Tonic made by Tweek Geek and you keep trying to change it into something personal.

Sorta...
Relax its only a name, are you even making products anymore?
ozzy |
Growing On Trees would be a good name for one of your products!

The products are entirely different even though the name may be similar.

yoby,
Thanks for the link.
I dunno the Super Sonic bottles I have are pretty powerful.

yoby,
On the mains, I placed them with the bottom of the bottle up against the mains wire/connections.
On the breakers, I spaced the breakers apart so that the Sonic bottles could attach to the breaker above or below the breaker.
I used permanent glue dots on the Sonic Tonics. It secures them very well.

The Sonic Tonic are a very good cost effective tweak. Placement experimentation is important. Very good on Video and at high power sources. Careful though on interconnects. IMHO.

I just installed 5 of the Sonic Tonic’s in my circuit breaker box.
2 of them went on the incoming main connections. The other 3 went on each of my dedicated lines.
I think I can already tell the difference...in sound quality. Better, deeper, livelier soundstage. I’m not kidding.
I also have the Bybee iSQE and ERS cloth on the breaker inside cover.
Perhaps these will also lower my electric bill???

t_ramey,
Yes, I have the Sonic Tonic on my TV, Satellite receiver power input and on the HDMI's inputs. Great improvement in video quality.
On the audio side you do have to experiment with where to place them. The effect is quite powerful. Too many can squelch the dynamics. I found them to be beneficial on the Amp ends, and on the subwoofer power IEC's ends. I also placed one before the power conditioners (Core Tech 300/1800).
Since all of my AC/IEC ends are now of the Furutech NCF versions I placed the Sonic Tonics on the cord before the Furutech connectors. But again experimentation is the key.
They seem to do best on areas with lots of power cords. Such as outlet strips and such. I placed one on my Circuit breaker box and intend to remove the cover and place them on the incoming power lines and on my dedicated breakers.
Get the electrical hash out at the source...

lak,
I do have a WA Quantum fuse chip on any fuses that are not the SR Black. Are these still being sold?

Dave,
I do have the Mad Scientists discs, but I think the Sonic Tonic is better. I did find that too many of them will squelch the dynamics. But one on the end of the IEC should not dull the sound.
Anyway, next place I plan on trying the Sonic Tonics is inside my breaker box next to the incoming power lines and on each of my 3 dedicated circuit breakers.

koestner,
John, They have 2 different purposes. The DIY resonators are used for room interaction and placements within the room is key.
The Sonic Tonic bottles are doing something to reduce the noise within the cable itself, allowing more dynamics to flow. Here again you must experiment with placement and quantity.
Too much of them in one place and it will make the music too forward and loose depth in the soundstage.
They seem to work best on IEC ends. But do try them on speaker ends, HDMI ends etc.

I just purchased another 8 Sonic Tonic Bottles.
I hope others have tried them, they are a true sonic bargain.

Well I opened a bottle.
What it looks like is a paste at the bottom of the bottle. It looks dark but it is hard to tell with the dark blue bottle.
I then took some out of an IEC that had the Sonic Tonic installed inside the power cord and found it to be a hard rubber like substance. But, I think that is because it has been exposed to air.
So, can’t tell you what it is but I know Mike at Tweek Geeks likes the Bybee stuff so perhaps it is chips or filings from Bybee products and maybe some other secret ingredients.
Whatever, it sure is a benefit to the sound quality.

geofkait,
Why don't you try it, smash it, and tell us ?
ozzy |
Thanks for the comments.
However, unless you have actually tried the Sonic Tonic bottles all your assumptions and your opinions are just that. Personally, I don’t really know what is inside the bottles and frankly I don’t care.
The only real test is does it improve sound quality? And I say, yes, yes it does. The price is extremely minimal for the improvement.
Has anyone else tried them?

sgordon1,
Thanks for your input.
Next, I am going to also add another set of the Sonic Tonic on the other end of the speaker cables.
ozzy

My most recent placement of the Sonic Tonic bottles has been one on each speaker at the binding posts lodged in between the speaker posts. (I have bi-wired posts)
Wow! what an improvement!
This is the best tweak bang for the buck that I have experienced.
ozzy

Yes, I'm old, but at least I can remember the things that matter.

Jay23,
I also have the Bybee signal enhancers and I place them on the components. The Sonic bottles are placed on the IEC ends, They synergize each other well. Well worth the cost of $25 per bottle.
geoffkait, Stay home...

jay23,
Thank you for bringing this thread back to the intent.
At this point, I don't know what is inside. I think the top of the bottles are glued shut. Shaking the bottle does not indicate any rattle or liquid moving. So, my guess it is in some form of putty.
Thanks for the reply.
ozzy |
Yeah, I know this sounds like "snake oil" and perhaps it is.
But, what is inside the $$$ Bybee tweaks? Or what is inside the tubes of the Synergistic $$$ power conditioners? This why I mentioned this tweak. And who wouldn't want to see more details in an aging actress face, like Tara Reid?
I originally got them for trial, and for what it is; (4 small bottles placed on top of IEC connectors) and for such a small price you can't go wrong. He will actually refund your money if you don't want them.
I am using them on top of the Cerious Technologies Graphene Extreme IEC power cables. Perhaps there is a synergy with the graphene? I don't know.

geoffkait,
I guess they thought your version needed replacement?
jmcgrogan2,
The movies get dumber every year. But, the little sonic bottles really bring out the image quality.
