Man, this is amazing!

Unfortunately it only works for a single piece of gear! This means you have to buy a lot of them if you really want it to be worth it!

I might order 12 and go from there, hope it comes with a tin foil hat!
mmm, actually i might be able to mount one on some kind of frame and use it as a hat...

If only someone would invent a magic box like this for the economy.

i dont think you would hear or feel you got 1,323$ worth of improvement. changing tubes and cables make slight differences (in my opinion) but nothing like buying new speakers or a bass. (and im the guy with solid silver siltech cables on my stereo lol)

i love this quote to pieces
Quote:
Percussive strikes have never been cleaner and more musically comprehensible. You can feel the muscle power in the bow arm and sense the smile's quality in the voice of the lead singer. There is something about mind before matter which is revealed to the listener, and everything takes on a more genuinely human sound quality. Discern age and maturity of tone as never before. In a word: the sound will be improved in a way that has not yet been addressed. Tubes sound less tubey and transistors lose their twinge. A local audiophile who usually speaks only in terms of highs and lows could only put it this way: "When I remove the Blackbody, the attractiveness of the music is gone."
I just can't enjoy music without this box!

also, I hate when I hear the drums and just can't figure it out how it works musically...

well, just to be safe I ordered 3

Reading their "in-depth" description is like having a greasy salesmen scream "SCIENCE" at me.

"A non-coloring tweak"

I've been forever looking for a device that can change my sound without changing my sound! I'm ordering three, so I can change it more without doing so!

But why pay $1300 when we've already been taught how to get the same effect for free?

Anticipating the answer before-hand, I asked my brother (who has a master's degree in particle physics) about the feasibility of such a device. His response was:

LOL

Exact quote. His response was somewhat more brief than I expected, but the message is the same.

"Every side is its “good side.” Your significant other will be as delighted as you."

I doubt it, but I'm sure the castigation you would receive would be of absolute razor sharp clarity for sure.
