In all my years of being a freaky new age nut, I have seen this concept come and go. I used to wear a watch that claimed to shroud my body in this frequency to protect against ELF radiation being broadcast by USSR towards the US.
I actually saw the Acoustic Revive
RR-77 in use at the NC dealer where I auditioned the H-Cat amplifier, and from whom I bought the Feastrex drivers. He is out there, choosing to represent products that are on the fringe. But they all sound great and he is a swell guy. I asked about it hanging off one of his speakers, but he didn't know I used to be a new age freak so he was embarassed to explain it in detail.
We did not turn it on and off to see what it does, the system was not revealing enough for me to hear much of anything. But he is adjusted to the system and claims it works well, as one would expect.
I have experienced other
Acoustic Revive products though. Like the CD demagnetizer and some other CD treatment device. The two of them treated my RMAF demo disk (CD-R) and I heard a definite before and after improvement. Joe Cohen of The Lotus Group is the Acoustic Revive importer and is a good friend of mine. He is a straight shooter and I trust him not to sell ripoffs. The products are designed in Japan (I think)and are geared toward open minded audiophiles.
The power strip they make, with case machined from solid aluminum block and insides filled with tourmaline dust is supposed to be fantastic, again, according to the local dealer. But fantastic is different for everybody. Not sure how it would compare to power conditioners based on known physics. But I allow that we know a small fraction of what nature is and concede that enlightened people can pull magic in without understanding it themselves. I have no problem with not understanding how it works, if it works better than what it costs. The CD treatment machines were surprisingly inexpensive considering the improvement they gave. I couldn't beleive the low price. But I know that the tourmaline (crushed gemstone powder) power strip is not so cheap.
The Lotus Group will exhibit in two rooms at RMAF again this year. They are playing a Feastrex 9" field coil driver in bass reflex box, powered by H-Cat electronics and all Joe's other lines like wires and accessories. Their room was a highlight of the show for me last year. Mr. Teramoto, the designer and builder of Feastrex drivers will be attending again this year, with the company's president in tow this time. The Acoustic Revive president did attend CES last year, not sure if he will come to RMAF or not. I will ask Joe about the RR-77 atom smashing time warp device and let you know.
Maybe they can do a demo?
