Listen first, then debunk.
Simple as that... aa
A suspect is not guilty until proven  aa


Proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Go try it instead of being an armchair critic

Sure. Soon as you can tell me what my listening to it has to do with anything I've said.

But let's say I did listen to it. And that I didn't hear any difference at all. Would this then prove that it doesn't work?

Does something that costs $450 qualify as a tweak?  :scratch:

Hotbird,
 Are you connected to Audio Revive? You sure seem to know a lot about what's happening with their products.

Why bother, I have tried the acoustic revive, and they work.
So what does the experiment below prove anything to me?
No relationship at all. Fullstop  :nono:
Asides, just found out that the link does say that Peter Belt's tweaks work for the reviewer  aa
"I suggest you give Belt’s theories a try, and judge for yourself before you dismiss them. It will cost you nothing but time. Even though I can’t scientifically measure Peter Belt’s theories, I know they work for me. I will report on more of his procedures in future.
Carol Clark"
 :P

Acoustic Revive tweaks do work. You just have to set down your prejudices and arrogance
to try them out.

So would you be willing to try the frozen photograph tweak? It would cost you virtually nothing.

Here's the "problem":

Each individual human had a fundamental adverse problem imposed on their senses when they had their first photograph taken. A photographic image captures the unique identity of the subject of the photograph but imposes a significant temporal (time) asymmetrical pattern. The action of this photograph radically changed the inner symmetry of the senses of the photographed human being. Fortunately, this debilitating adverse condition is reversible.

Here is the "cure":

To restore a significant temporal (time) symmetry to any person's senses, it is necessary to acquire one photograph which was exposed when the person was young and another photograph exposed when the person was older. Each photograph is placed, individually, into it's own clear plastic bag. The two plastic bags, each containing a spaced time photograph of the same individual, should be placed inside the freezer compartment of the domestic refrigerator.

And here's the "explanation":

This experiment demonstrates that within the freezer compartment, there exists a high degree of symmetry and that this symmetrical condition is imposed on the temporal asymmetric condition of the two chronologically spaced photographs and is, in turn, imposed on the senses of the human subject of the photographs. It is unfortunate that the vast majority of people, including many who work in science and technology, do not appreciate that a photograph functions within the quantum mechanical world.

And here's an excerpt from a legitimate audio review by Carol Clark in Positive Feedback magazine:

I have my photos in the freezer, and it has not only improved my enjoyment of music at home, but at fellow audiophiles homes nearby, and as far away as Las Vegas during this year’s CES.

Quote
Japan do make many high end audiophile products, whose quality
and performance are right now being revered by many in US now, eg Esoteric, Airtight,
Accuphase, Shindo etc, you don't call them bs brands do you ? :D

Are any of those brands making ridiculous claims similar to those made by Acoustic Revive?

I am not related to Acoustic Revive at all. But they do not cost an arm or leg over in the East, so I have the luxury of trying them out at my pace. And they do work. Serious audiophiles can plow > 10k into an amp or cd player,and even cables (Stealth,VD,PAD,Nordost etc) and are still dissatisfied, what is $450?  aa

Hotbird--

You behave as if you have something invested. I've never noticed you until this topic arose. Now every other post is from you. And you are using the typical shill language, calling people arrogant and belittling their skepticism. Why? What motivates your interest?

I just join Audiocircle a few days ago with the intention to inquire about volume control at Nuforce forum (I own a P9 and 9Se)
Just happen to come across this topic that was interesting to me, and to give some defence to Acoustic Revive, as I have been an ardent user of their products. Critics of tweaks who have not even tested their use behave as though they are know-alls, dismissing everything as bs, can be quite unsettling to me  :lol:

Settled?  :wink:

What I have addressed is the ridiculous claims made in their "explanation." My listening to them doesn't make those claims any less ridiculous.

If I claim my cables are made of pixie dust, would someone first have to listen to them before pointing out that my pixie dust claim is ridiculous?

Again, I don't see what listening has to do with anything I've said.

Because it's said to improve your listening experience. Are you not interested in improving your listening experience?

l require any "tweak" I use to pass a single blind test within my own system before I will spend money on it. That is, I ,setting in the focus point of the system
must be able to tell by the positive effect on the reproduction accuracy of system when the tweak is in the system or out of the system by the change in the sound of the system only,no other clue allowed. If I can identify when the tweak is in use every time, then the effect is big enough to bother with.
At that point I will either duplicate it via DIY or purchase it outright.
  The "grounding" improvement may be duplicated by measuring the voltage potential on the outside of the chassis with respect to ground with a voltmeter and reversing the wall plug polarity to achieve the lowest voltage. In any project I do myself I always wire the mains transformer for the lowest leakage voltage with respect to earth ground.

Not such a good idea. The equipment's line fuse should be on the hot lead. Flipping around the plug puts the fuse on the neutral lead.

Why is it ridiculous? And why can you call this ridiculous without having tried it but I can't call Acoustic Revive's claims about the RGC-24 ridiculous without having tried tried it?

Perhaps not. Maybe you could explain to me how spite warrants humility in response.
