Gary,
So, what are your impressions of the RR-777 versus the IPC Energizers versus the SMusic boxes? What are SMusic boxes?

Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
Category: Accessories
I consider myself a relatively sane and skeptical audiophile when it comes to devices that offer a higher level of performance with magical explanations of how they work. Well, I had read on Six Moons website a very postive review regarding the Acoustic Revive RR-77 room conditioner, yes room conditioner, but took it with a big grain of salt. Then my good friend and fellow GON member Ted Brady in a conversation tells me that he has not lost his mind, but the damn device worked wonders in his high end system. So, what the heck, it costs $400.00 and I can get one from Music Direct with a 30 day home audition and send it back if it does not work.
It's a very small box that you put behind your speakers at the height of five feet off the ground. It is a type of wave generater that puts into the room a subsonic frequency that either effects how you hear the system in the room or somehow effects the acoustic of the room it self. For alot more information regarding the theory regarding how it works you can go to Six Moons website for alot more details.
Well, I have no real idea how it produces the effects it does, but the damn thing works magic in the following areas:
1)A greater liquidity and oozyness in my system without a loss of PRAT or macrodynamics.
2)More dense images with greater air around each player in the soundstage.
3)A deeper/wider soundstage.
4)Everything sounds more relaxed and natural.
My girlfriend, who is a musician, heard it instantly when she walked in and asked me what did I do this time regarding a new piece of gear. So, I have no rational explanation how it works, but boy does it work in a significant postive way. So, if I have not lost my mind, I recommend you try one in your room. What the heck, you get a 30 day trial from Music Direct. Highly recommended!
