Guys:

I hope the Ground Enhancers and the crystals worked well for you.  I stayed on the side-lines and a good friend of my purchased the ground enhancers.  He told me once he installed them he could hear no difference.  I realize they are inexpensive tweaks and I hope the purchasers obtain significant value from them.

No way! No Alan Maher crack for me. Thanks anyway.  :D

Joking, of course - don't mean to disparage Alan's work at all. I believe they work, and heard something of his over at Mike's house. But only so many audio dollars flying around, I need other stuff more. I have a crystal collection and drink water from a tourmaline filter, so I have no fear of the "technology." I'll probably try it someday.

It's real easy to drive yourself nuts on these tweaks.  The crystals are fascinating but at some point, it seems like Alan has shifted from innovative electronic conditioning circuits to selling a myriad of different crystals.  Hey, I'm not knocking it - they seem to work to some extent and I certainly have my share of Alan Maher CBFs, but at some point you just have to wonder if these tweaks warrant all the time and attention (even if not money).  And believe me, I've tried my share of most of them.

The way I figure it, if we are to be dependent on subjective listening, there will always be GEs, CBFs and  myriad of other tweaks to buy and try.  Just gotta remember that it's the nervosa talking...

I didn't hear it working myself, but I have been told that the Acoustic Revive power boxes sound amazing. Billet aluminum box stuffed with tourmaline dust and duplexes. There's gotta be something to it. But the list of interesting tweeks for stocking stuffers is mighty long these days. So many things that would be fun to try.

There are just too many damn tweaks and that way lies madness! I'm having enough trouble getting my head around the lenghty and not very pleasent break-in of my KCI Silkworms. Tweaks I like and don't cost a lot are experienting with absolute phase (at the speaker end), Craig's Gold conditioner, ebony footers, mass loading of equipment. Ones I would like to try include Shumann Resonators, and the Lossless Blackbox. Getting into chrystals scares me. I have enough of them in my joints thank you!

Here's the tweak you need:

The nozzle has tourmaline crystals in it to zap the juice with magic. ;)

Bitter green juice like dandelion leaves are so alkaline they will dissolve any acid crystals very quickly. And lots of other good things.

If you grind your interconnects through this thing will you be able to hear "finer" detail?  :rofl:

I may not hear finer detail but I will definitely see finer detail after this "tweek."
