Default My glorious new invention

I call it...



Click the image to open in full size.
THE AMP-HAT


I really think everyone's going to be doing this in the future.

BRB, need to go file a patent!


The amp-hat can be seen here on a little prototype Alpair10 BR box destined to ultimately become a pair of actively driven nearfield monitors for a friend

Very fashionable. Does it serve a purpose?

It amplifies!

Also, it keeps the top of the speaker warm in the winter.

do the bottles in front improve the imaging any? If more are added to the clearly scientific matrix that you have them in, does sound quality improve (a)dramatically (b) perceptibly (c) perterbingly (d) indubidibly?

only when filled with a prime number of cryo-treated C-47 painted magic pebbles, with EnABL pattern on the bottles

Uh - I suggest that you invest in some type of (at least) half arsed connectors to replace the alligator clips with. Should provide a huge improvement and cost less than then the cyro-treated C47 magic pebbles AND frees up the clips for other use(s) they are handy for.

Yes, the rigorously-developed serration pattern allows for minimal oxidation to build up over time while preventing any electrically-noisy stress corrosion cracking within the metal matrix, which often manifests as a loss of depth in the blackness of the silence of music.

Also, I've personally broken in these particular clips through a rigorous, proprietary process whereby I bombard the wires with ionized alpha-waves while they are submerged in a suspension of ferro-fluid and all natural distilled alligator sweat, which contains critical enzymes that assist in the breaking down of "maverick electrons," a bi-product of intertranslaminate lambda coupling that can cause mid-signal reluctance, which can commonly be perceived in the output as a lack of "courage" or "trepidation," and causing a noticeable amount of "impending doom" in the off-axis response.
