Any one have any insight on this device? Price seems reasonable compared to Network Acoustics and others.

This is the response from a question asked about this device.

What does increasing speed mean? How does the device do this? How does "magnetic conduction" specifically do this? What is the suggested relationship between increasing speed and reducing noise?

In digital “speed” is measured by a square wave rise time. If you increase the square wave rise, time you can provide more accurate version of the original signal. A more instant on and off or more instant change in voltage rather. This was third-party tested through the university of Toronto and is in the patent 8,272,876. I believe that the increase was something around 14% but its been awhile I could be wrong. For Audiophile, what is important is that it’s highly audible. Delivers a much crisper clearer signal. It is reasonable to know that it is not only applicable to digital signals however obviously in that analog realm as some may argue that would not apply the same way to an analog signal. An analog signal is not as square wave. The basic understanding is that increasing square wave rise, directly relates to the decrease of jitter. They are proportional to one another. There is more in the patent that includes the reduction of THD using magnetic conduction and goes on to show increased efficiency of connected components to a cable with magnetic conduction. All were third party tests on magnetic conduction that were also verified by Walter’s Forensic Engineering in Toronto. I hope that helps.

Hello - I have two Shockwaves - one in each of my systems - incredible transformation - likely the biggest single leap of any piece of gear for me in the past year or so. I have Network Acoustics Muons in as well - fed the NA's into the Shockwaves - highly recommend trying it. Much bigger and more positive effect than the Muon. Muon was very positive and worth it, Shockwave is perhaps four times the effect in my system, and is different in what it provides.

Hmmm a bit suspect here. You joined today and this is your first post…..

Well, that's an interesting observation....;)
I think it is a plant as he is also Canadian or it could be coincidental as Rick fled to Canada after bankruptcy in Texas.:oops::rolleyes::mad:

Hi,
Shultz is as shady as they come.
You can bet there is a connection there.

The connection being that I purchased equipment and listen to it. It is literally true. Great pointing out things that are literally true guys. Another observation is that the letter M next to my post is green. Must be a "plant".

Assumed identity. You show up and make 3 posts all on RS products. Coincidence? Okay sure.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt, never will trust RS ever again.
