While a certain amount of skepticism is always healthy I would point out that the naysayers here have not even seen one of these things. How do you know that they cannot work?

Quite different from, I tried several out and in my opinion they had no effect or their effect was minimal at best.

I've heard one or two power conditioners (I know we're not discussing power conditioners, but the effect I'm going to discuss is similar) that created "blackness" between the notes. What I found was that this blackness between the notes sounded unnatural to me. In a live performance, or even in a recorded performance, there is seldom silence so lacking in ambient sound that it sounds "black".

Some tweaks I've tried have also resulted in this "blackness" between notes. I've never favored the result.

Music has room ambience. Without it, the recording seems artificial.

Yes, 3 possibilities:
1. They work, positive effect.
2. They have a negative effect.
3. They do nothing, they have no effect.
Unlike the last thread on these, there are reports from actual owners. So far the owners are reporting option #1.

Rja makes a good point about the owners of the Blackbody.

My point was that sometimes a certain sonic characteristic is initially interesting and may seem to be an improvement, but upon further consideration it is not preferrable.

I don’t know if this applies to the Blackbody, but it’s a phenomenon to consider when evaluating products.

I wonder if they work for all sound or just sound that comes out of speakers?

Might they work for say a live vocalist, piano, or guitar player and make them sound better as well I wonder?

If so they should use them in the recording studio and lick the problem at the source.
