Preface: ...“You have to hear this in your own system, or you won’t believe it!” The device he was lunatic-raging about was the Nirvana Audio Chronos Optimizer.

Effects: a noticeable increase in the overall clarity, dynamics, and musicality of your system; a significant increase in your system’s operational stability; a marked increase in system headroom, allowing your music to play at much louder levels without any accompanying increase in strain or distortion; and an extraordinary increase in both stereo imaging and soundstage realism and believability.

I find it almost inconceivable that anyone couldn’t hear the effects of Chronos, which is impossible for me to ignore. With Chronos, I found I could crank the volume significantly with no increase of system strain, which allowed me to get a greater sense of absolute realism.
