Tweak

Sonic Tonic: A Journey Of 10+ years Becomes A Product Born of Experience, Friendships b'&' Love Of MusicBeing in business for nearly 15 years, you get to meet, and share experience/knowledge with some really great people. Some well known, some relatively unknown. This post is about the birth of a product, I call it Sonic Tonic, as a culmination of over 10 years working with Mr. Jack Bybee, and a fellow group of like minded music lovers whom I will call my b'"'Tweak Gurusb'"'. A Bit of Mad Science TooI owe a great deal to these people. Together through our love of music and what we think it should sound like when reproduced, we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with audio through very unconventional means. We are mad scientists, given completely over to the dark side. The experiences we share are available to you, if you decide to trust our experiences, our anecdotal evidence, and our ears. It's a lot to ask. I know. Hell I'm about as scientific minded as they get when it comes to anything else except audio. That's because my ears and the ears of my colleagues/friends have heard things. Things we can't measure (with conventional tools/methods), things we can't really put into adequate words, but can only hint at with rambling cliches. It's wholly inadequate, but I've found a way to get beyond words, hype, bullshit and the like. I let you put my experiences to the test, try them in your own system on your own time, and see if they are for your ears. It's simple, costs little to do, and cuts through the crap. Everything Makes A DifferenceI have been experimenting with crystals, metals, and other materials in respect to the effect they have on signal transmission and room acoustics. Let me just say that everything, EVERYTHING in your listening room has some effect on the sound of your audio system, and in more ways than you think. Even the air in the room, it all affects performance, and can be altered. You've seen my experimentation with Copper rods (still ongoing, with more blogging to come...) alongside conventional acoustic treatments within a listening space. This is a fantastic, and inexpensive tweak. The copper brings openness, naturalness and enhances dynamics. Even a well acoustically treated room. That was my first unconventional means of attacking a common problem. inexpensive to try, and I make no money from it. It is simply me sharing something that brings more excitement to the listening experience. A 1/2b'"' copper rod suspended from my ceiling. Playing The FieldThen there are the crystal based products. Not necessarily cheap, but that is about to change... For the crystal based products there are of course Jack B's latest inventions: Room Neutralizers, Quantum Signal Enhancers. Let's not forget the Stein Harmonizer system, Synergistic Research HFT, UEF, Audio Magic P.E.A. and PulseGen technology. All of these use crystals, resonance and either are energized by or produce a b'"'fieldb'"' that enhances certain aspects of music reproduction. All do something to the sound, or to the listener perhaps, that enhances or at the very least changes the sonics of a system and/or room. These have all been an inspiration of sorts, and I have listened to them all. I have much respect for these manufacturers. It takes hundreds, even thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars to develop a product such as this. That's before one dime is made. Think about that the next time you read or hear someone bashing a manufacturer for egregious pricing in light of parts count and cost. It's the original idea, the research, the time, and money invested beforehand with no guarantee of return. This needs to be calculated into the MSRP in addition to the material cost of production. Then one has to project how many will be sold (good luck with that in the audio industry) and hopefully come up with a number that will produce a reasonable profit. But I digress....

This amp was built 9-8-2011 and is a 50 watt solid state rectified V3. The Two Rock Custom Reverb Signature V3 is a versatile two channel amplifier from boutique makers Two Rock. The Custom Reverb has always been a culmination of everything Two Rock creators Bill & Joe have learned since day one. Version 3 adds a new loop and Contour controls to this classic design. The Custom Reverb V3 has two distinct channels Clean and Lead, the Clean Channel is the classic pure Two Rock tone with endless depth and headroom. If you are looking for the famous John Mayer clean tone - this is it. The Lead channel has a superb warmth to it and the various controls on the V3 allow you to tweak and refine the sound to your perfect tone. Two Rock use carefully selected components and a hand built approach to craft some of the finest quality amplifiers we have come across. Just taking a peak inside the chassis is a lesson in what true craftsmanship is. The Custom Reverb V3 has an extensive range of controls giving you total control over it superb tone. The Custom Reverb V3 is an amp you can really sit down with and spend hours discovering new tones and subtle variations but the core sound is always pure and true to you.

For audio/video products this is definitely not the most common and easy way. Revolutionary technology rarely comes from the marketing department either. For us at KE this is the result from our deep knowledge, thorough development and the strong ambition to create unique products with an outstanding price/performance ratio. The convincing proof that this approach can lead to some very remarkable products can be found in our QA PLUG and SR PLUG. Different and unusual for sure but by no means less effective. Just follow your eyes and ears. The improvement in sound and picture quality is impossible to miss. QUANTUM APPROACH PLUG and AUTOMOTIVE QA MODULE stage depth becomes deeper, higher, wider, naturally balanced with whole lotta “black space” between instruments. Almost holographic. Voices placed in front of drums (as it should be), colour and tidiness of voice to die for. *Step 4: potentiometer turned from 1 o’clock to max. Too much of a good thing equals nogood. *Back to 11 o’clock – back to heaven. The sound reminded me to the “deep listening” sessions after bong (ab)use when I was young(er). *The last step: SR Plug switched of. The sound I’ve thought was fine. seemed - wall of sound! Plugged again. I will never unplug it again. I damn love it. Ivan Benja from Milan (Italy)  Having used the QA-Plug for about a decade now, I was curious of the exclusive Quantum device from NordOst which gave an impression of credibility. However, I preferred the QAPlug from Kemp. My dealer pointed out that the QA-Plug had been upgraded in the meantime, the new version allowing the listener to adjust its strength. This new QA-Plug clearly outperforms the original one! I bought four of them! Two are positioned at the front and two at the back of my listening room, giving the sound from my multichannel system much more realism and sense of space. Dhr. de Jong from Zevenhuizen/ the Netherlands (translated by John van Polen)  StereoTimes.com, March 2011; “Kemp Elektroniks Quantum Approach Plug, Another Black Box”, by Dave Allison “I won’t speculate as to whether the Kemp device has the same effects (or to the same degree) as the Nordost products, but the theory of operation seems to be similar, and the price is right! The Kemp QA Plug remains in my system, and is, in my opinion, a worthwhile system tweak.” review Response from customers I must say, that having just tried the SNS and QA plugs on my setup,they have made a noticeable difference in my system! Much more analogue sounding, with much better layering and separation. Also, more importantly, the dynamics haven’t been dampened a bit!! Wymun from Singapore  The increased detail (from full output) of the QA was not exaggerated, but to my ear a bit too much of a good thing. I then suggested we turn the output down a bit (to approx. 75%). Here the QA was near-perfect....tons of micro-detail, spaciousness, and venue information, but very, very musical. Alan M. Kafton from Phoenix (USA)  I feel very happy with “my” sound: wide, deep, open, transparent, tidy, rich, dynamic. I can hardly imagine anything better downside a 5 fig
