Product Description

Here are the details:

Volcano

img:audiophile rocks Volcano
The Volcano is suitably named as that is exactly what it looks like, a small red volcano. It is 6.3 cm wide at its base reducing to a 2.2 cm at its top, with a 5cm deep depression in its top. The red material it is made from is embedded with black crystals.

Audiophile Rocks have this to say about it

‘The Volcano is our new crystal design for the lowest cost. It costs as much as our old popular VibraDome Blue Star while also being bigger with our newest and best H2U2 Crystal Formula. This filter is surrounded with red PVC, black crystals and varnish. ‘

The next ‘tweak’ in for review is the

Glo

The Glo looks for all the world like a snow ball, its 4.5 cm tall, 5 cm wide and has a flat bottom. The surface is covered on black crystals and some other crystals a colour I am struggling to decide what it is.

Audiophile Rocks say this about the Glo

‘This Glowing Light Orb (GLO) is our new crystal tweak that replaces our old Night Glow tweaks for the same cost. They have been very popular among our customers over the years. Our first model Night Stone was even voted “Product of the year 2012” which was using the old Alien Crystal Formula, since that time we improved the formula many times until we reached perfection with the H2U2 Crystal Formula.’

Rockwood V6

The Rockwood V6 is 5 cm tall, 3.5 cm wide and is round, slightly domed at the top and has a slight depression underneath it. It’s surface is covered in black crystals.

Audiophile Rocks say this about the Rockwood

‘Rockwood is the most neutral and transparent tweak ever designed, and it was built to last a lifetime. It’s handcrafted from wood and black crystals on the surface which makes it almost impossible to break. It’s our only tweak that can be placed under the equipment as isolation feet if you buy 3 units.

The V6 model is our best version that is a large step up from all the other Rockwood versions and the Hill Crystal models we designed during year 2016-2017. ‘

Black Hole

The Black Hole is a free standing flat bottomed black object, bulbous at the top and thinning slightly to its lower body. Its 5 cm tall, by 4 cm wide at the top and 2.5 cm at its bottom. The surface is speckled with black embedded crystals, mostly buried in the surface There is a hole in its bottom, which ends in a flat faced crystal.

Audiophile Rocks say this

‘Black Hole is our new crystal tweak that replaces the old Black Star tweak for the same cost. Black Hole is twice as large and has a Black Obsidian Pyramid inside. The older Unreal Crystal Formula has been upgraded into our best H2U2 Crystal Formula which is placed inside the rock. Around this rock we use black PVC, black crystals and varnish.’

As before the proof in the pudding is the listening.

Noise Terminator

The Noise Terminator is 5cm long, by 1cm wide. It comprises of a bare metal RCA plug, black plastic body and at the opposite end to the RCA section there is a recess filled with small crystals. Currently Audiophile Rocks don’t have any other type of plug type available so potential customers wanting XLRs or any other connector option will have to ask if they can offer them.

Audiophile Rocks say this about the Terminator

‘Cover up the empty RCA holes in your audio system and prevent RFI from leaking into your music.

Noise Terminator has been one of our most popular tweaks. Over the years we have improved the original Alien Crystal Formula and now we have it available in “the end of all” H2U2 Crystal Formula which took 6 years to perfect. We have even improved on the aesthetics and durability of the Noise Terminator which really sets it apart from our older versions.’

Noise terminators are not a new addition to the music lovers arsenal of tweaks, as companies like Cardas, and Telos offer cap covers, so it will be interesting to see what this particular item does to improve the listening experience.
