"Pace" is a real thing.
So how would these improve the alignment in loudspeakers?

Obviously not at all.  Maybe if something delayed the upper frequencies in some fashion to match with the delay of the LF driver then you could have better "pace".  Oh wait, that's a time aligned crossover.  What knowledgeable designers already do.   ;D

By reducing the thickness of your wallet. You'll be sitting more level.  :o

And if the speaker was correctly designed, then it would throw off the timing and screw it up------------

This is my secret weapon:

I have my amp on it (MC2 Audio MC1250) and my preamp (APB mixer) on a smaller one.

Well if you don't have amps with binding posts then you obviously know nothing about audio and how it works, and therefore you are unqualified to debunk these supposed snake oil products that actually really work.

Using Speak-On or EP4 connectors forces the audio to be squashed into one connector reducing the quality and frequency range of the audio, using a pair of binding posts frees the audio lines and lets the audio 'breathe' significantly increases the quality and tonality of the music.

For those who have multipin connectors the DGL Super Natural Audio Komponents Europe Online Imperfection Limiter can help to separate the audio lines thus improving the audio and is a special deal at only $10,000. Remember the quality of your audio matters and spending any less than $50,000 for something so important is madness.

(the sarcasm is strong with this one)     

/sarcasm on

Oh, but I disagree!  A signal passing through a binding post connection must PHYSICALLY turn by 90 degrees, thus introducing a "smearing of the result.  Using an additional 3 serial connections of this type will result in a delay (or is it lead?) of 360 degrees.  Either way, it will NOT be phase coherent with the original source.  Although this cannot be proven with blind testing, we do know that we cannot listen with our eyes.

A straight wire with gain is the only reasonable solution.

/sarcasm off

If you want to improve the "pace" of your amplifiers, for the low price of $900, try these.

Sadly they will only work on amps that have binding posts :'( :'( :'( :'(

They can be also used to put those little holes in the end of Havana cigars!

These miniature, rounded wooden sticks, designed to be applied to the amplifier and loudspeaker binding posts, are claimed to remove noise and distortions you never realized existed in your system.

That was the only part of the article that made sense. The rest of it had qualities similar to the material I removed from the barn stalls this morning (but at least the stuff from the barn has some value).

These devices look astonishingly similar to the handles I made for my daughter's rocking horse a while back: a chunk of dowel with a hanger bolt screwed into the end. Cost me about a dollar fifty to make the pair. They really improved the pace of the rocking horse.

I could really use something that would slow down the pace of how often I have to clean the barn. I think it's called "summer" which is when I can lock the steers out in the pasture.

... or some similar sales spin.  :-)
