I'd like to know as well, I've been wondering for a long time.

I've thought about removing the jumpers between my pre-amp out & amp-in on my Sansui 9090 and sticking it in between.

I'm so curious...

Cheers

Hi there;

If you go back to the ebay listing, which is closed, go to the stereo reviews.

Read the 2nd review and see if you can count how many devices are to be interconnected at the same time for that review.

If there happens to be 4, then add 1 meter of interconnect cable per unit and there you have 4 devices and over 10 feet of cables.

I would think it might sound different.

I've seen this item mentioned before, here, I believe, snake oil perhaps?

I have never seen any mention of this, "magic box", anywhere else.

Trust me, if it was that, "magical", we would all know about it.

I do have a schematic for reducing the wide and exaggerated stereo effects of headphones, but usually there is a slight loss of signal with insertion, not a boost.

Something a little safer is Dyna-Quad.

Good luck.
