So, I'm curious what the phrase: "...to affect harmonic energy change audio signals and systems" actually means.

ALL electric and/or audio signals are electromagnetic waves/fields. Just read Dollard, Steinmetz, or Heaviside...all electrical energy is the result from the interaction of dielectricity and magnetism.

So, how is this product different, and in what way? What is the transfer function and what is the functional response it is mediating? It's not explaining what the transfer function is, and what the functional response is. If it mediates some sort of physics-based functional response, it can be described by a transfer function. I don't get any of that information from the web page, so it reads like marketing-speak to me.

My personal experience:

A few months ago, after PM'ing with a member here (not sure if he wants to be named), and out of curiosity, I ordered 2 of the entry level ElectraClear devices. Measly investment considering it was less than $200 and there is a great return policy.

In my setup, I have 2 dedicated separate 20A runs from the panel to my components. One for the amps and one for everything else.

I plugged the EC's into each of those outlets and my layman explanation of the result is that I noticed more loudness right away. It was like the gain had been turned up on the preamp but without turning up line noise.

Over time I've tried to pinpoint what it is I've been hearing and the best way I can think of to explain it is that along with more "loudness", the music "hits" harder and is more "crisp" or "clean".

I imagine that doesn't answer many questions but based on my experience I'm going to order a Sorcerer x4 minimally, or a Sorcerer x4 and a Wizard in April.

This will free up one of the ElectraClears so I'd be willing to ship it to someone for a demo in their system all I'd ask is that you pay the shipping costs both ways as I plan to keep it and use it near the AV setup in the family room.

Hope this helps.

If you want more "juice" at all frequencies why not just get a more efficient speaker, especially horn, with the added benefit of less distortion. No "magic" needed.

Sure, that is an option. But if you want more from out of the speaker, or to hear its full potential, then the “magic” recipe of ADD-Powr is necessary.

Changing out speakers is fun, and expensive.

From experience before any component or speaker is changed out support the electrical foundation to get the most from your system - it takes work, but that’s the hobby.

The objective for me is it must be better, not different. And a lot of this is done at fractions of price compared to components, speakers and cables.

Myself and the family last night was able to see a notable difference in our Theater Projector. The image had more “Pop” dynamic contrast, and slightly deeper color saturation.

Could I have achieved this through re-calibration; I have no doubt. But, as Ed stated above it is the electrical foundation that is being improved. This has immensely increased our enjoyment across the board with all of my electronics.

I can easily state, even at this early juncture this has been the most rewarding “Bang for the Buck” for me.

I now have ADD-Powr products on every system I own in Cape Cod.
