Detail Magnifiers by Econotweek


I just recieved some sets of these for my Bi wire speakers.
Not sure if these take time to break in.
I was told they sound great right away, others have said they take a few weeks.
Right now I am not sure if they are doing anything. I also have the Ground Controls on the speakers.

I was wondering if anyone else has these and perhaps could give an opinion of these compared to the Walkers.

Actually they are high-pass RC filters, easy to DIY on your own. Simply a capacitor and resistor in series. The idea is to high-pass the RF from the speaker cables through the resistor, where it dissipates as heat. There are quite a few threads on the Audio Asylum Tweaks forum with different formulas for making your own. I made mine using cascaded silver mica caps and Texas Components TX2575 resistors, all wrapped in TI Shield and potted in small ABS boxes. I matched the resistor value to the characteristic impedance of my speaker cables for maximum RF transfer. I use one on each end of the speaker cables, between + and - . I do hear a difference in upper range clarity when they are in the circuit.
I now have maybe 20 hours playing time with the Detail Magnifiers.
Best I can describe the improvements thus far is a increase in body at all frequencies. Bass is truly tunefull.
The Vocals sound real and there is a high end improvement that allows cymbals to sound like metal rather than just a splash.
Just been listening to early Linda Rondstadt, wow what a voice!
Ohh Baby,Baby when the sax kicks in it sounds like it is live and in my room.

I have nothing but good things to comment on these Detail Magnifiers. Not sure how they would match up to the Walkers High Def Links, but I would bet on it being really close.
Ozzy, did you go with the upgraded connectors or the cry treatment? Curious, thanks
Scotty333, I actually bought the Walkers HDL Ref + and the Walker HDL III.
I also made some of my own for my home theatere equiment.

As much as I hate to admit, but, the Walker HDL Ref + is in a league all by itself, too bad its so expensive.

I also went ot a solid 9999 14 gauge Silver wire for speaker cables with the Walkers at the end.

Way better setup than with my Synergistis Apex speaker cables , which I have sold.
ozzy, pls post impressions of the HDL Ref +s and where they impact things.
thx
