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

Audioquest runs one wire down the length of their cables. I’m sure that makes all the difference!

Can you imagine the guy sitting in a Roman bath, telling his friends that the world is round?  There are some things we understand and some we don’t.  If a battery isn’t electrical, what happens to the charge when a battery has been sitting in a drawer for a few years?  It must be doing something.  I think the post was fun, and have no idea if it makes any sense.

I appreciate the sharing and the post antigrunge2. Thanks I will try it, because it is so easy. Thanks again.

Hey @antigrunge2 thanks for sharing!  How many expensive tweaks get promoted here with dubious results?  This one’s darn near free so if it helps at all it’s a huge return on investment.  If not, take the battery off and use it somewhere else.  I fail to see the harm or the need for the snide comments toward someone who seems to genuinely be trying to help and with no benefit to himself for doing so.  Sheesh!
