Chronos tweak at Axpona

I was passing by this room promoting Chronos tweak , the sound seems so good and  huge . I like what heard, I was shocked to see the speaker were so small.As I listen I started liking the music more coming from the speakers.The price on this tweak is $2500, which I think is very expensive. The technology according to the Taiwanese doing the demo has something to do with resonance , vibration , space correction thing ? Iam not sure. But it did sound good with Chronos.It got me interested the next day I brought my wife with me.and my own cd to play . She like it for $1500 she will let me have it.But we never negotiate. Because I feel the tweak is so new. Let me ask someone here who attented Axpona and happen to listen to Chronos tweak. I willl really appreciate your experience and share it here.

Ozzy it’s hard to listen without them. My 3 systems all improved. I got the same amazing resukt on all of them. My friend ordered for auditions.my favorite placement so far one on top of my amp 2 on top of the speakers and middle of the room by my coffee table. Focus is well balanced.

Ozzy, I always appreciate your insight. I’m a little bit late to this discussion, however, I have been auditioning the Nirvana Chronos for several weeks. Mike at Tweek Geek was kind enough to loan one to me. The effect it has on my system was immediate & undeniable.

If I were to take a stab at what it adds to the listening experience, imagine for a moment a shadow box or even a greeting card that when opened, reveals 2D objects that unfold & pop up. Now imagine the same shadow box or greeting card that contains identical objects unfolding & popping up but, in a more realistic 3D fashion. So much for my rudimentary visual analogy. In terms of soundstage, performers, instruments & room, all take on a 3D quality while clearly outlined within the stereo image. Their location on stage takes on more precise placement quality as well. For example, vocals are represented in a forward fashion. Not “in your lap” forward, but definitely out in front of the other performers.
 

To sum up my initial findings, don’t be fooled by its unassuming appearance as a USB thumb drive. This pricey ($2500!) little gizmo is the real deal. Simply put, Chronos clearly elevates everything good about your system. I have found it to be effective unplugged as well as plugged into the recommended USB power supply. It was also highly effective when placed on top of the power cord connector that feeds my balanced mains supply from the wall. A tiny dab of blu-tak will secure Chronos to the plug. Is it too pricey? Absolutely! However, you are free to audition through Tweek Geek at no charge to help determine whether this product is for you. If you’re like me, however, you will find Chronos indispensable.
