    Thanks Jesse. I am a vinyl guy and this looks pretty cool. It is very difficult to send up a cartridge perfectly and this looks like it can help. I found this demo link:

    Been looking at that for a while. Was wandering if it might be like running SDAs with Sonic Holigraphy; ie not a good match. Would love to find out though.

    I think it would pair up well actually. The crosstalk this device works with is at the source, while SDA deals with what arrives at the listeners ears after the signal is set free into the room. The Foz is not trying to correct the signal at the speaker like SDA and SonicHolography do.

    We saw / heard this in the Jolida room at AXPONA last April. My wife noticed a slight difference between it being in the signal path vs not.

    That's closer than the rest of us, were your impressions favorable?

    I didn't notice a difference. That said, my wife's ears are better than mine and she's not into audio (she is a musician). We didn't have a vinyl setup at that time so we didn't have a dog in the race.

    The way he explained what it attempts to do made sense at the time.

    I'm wondering.... If this approach is similar to what SDA is doing, then maybe this explains why vinyl sounds so damn good on SDAs?
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    This seems to function as a balance pot, while it will provide some improvement (balance correction) to some turntables that do not have the capability to adjust the arm for azimuth, it does not correct the root cause.

    I have a couple turntables this unit can probably help....

    Has anyone purchased it?

    Play one of those old Beatles records, where all the sound is one just one channel, such as a vocal, and then turn balance to other channel. You will hear the sound that should be on just the other channel but at a reduced level.

    On the CD version, it is completely isolated.
