Obscurum

Obscurum has a lower noise floor than any tweak we designed in the past. This dark and mysterious rock is placed on top of the chassis of the audio component. The Obscurum tweak is a work of art all the way to the core. On the inside it contains our new Supernova Crystal Formula which was specifically synergized for this Obscurum masterpiece. The entire rock is built up from many layers using a complex array of crystals, polymer clay and obsidian pyramids for ultimate performance.



Unlike our old tweaks, the Obscurum works best for every component in the audio system. It's equally good for the DAC, CD player, pre-amp, amplifier and even a computer transport! As a bonus it also works for video! In the past our tweaks had both strengths and weaknesses, for example one tweak had great detail and air, but lacked in bass. Another tweak sounded silky smooth and spacious, but didn't have as much detail as another tweak. We also had separate tweaks for audio and video which made it even more complicated. The great news is that with Obscurum you don't need to think about any of that, because this tweak works for absolutely everything, while having the highest performance in all aspects of the sound!



Obscurum has the best bass performance with more detail than Unreal Pro and Rockwood V6 which lacked in bass. The soundstage of Obscurum is larger than the GLO tweak which had soundstage size as its strength. Combining soundstage size with detail means that you can hear deeper into the music and hear new sounds you didn't hear before. The inner details pop out from a pitch black background which can be a scary experience. But still the Obscurum sounds calm and relaxing due to the low noise floor. Obscurum sounds warmer than Volcano because of the heavy and full sound, but without sounding muddy. The surface layer of the music is very clear and transparent like with our most analytical tweaks, but with Obscurum's incredible layering you can hear the deepest details as well. There are many products in the Hi-Fi industry that tone down the surface layer only to emphasize the inner details which makes it deep but flat (laid-back sound), and there are products that do the opposite by making the sound edgy and analytical which fades away the depth (forward sound). The Obscurum tweak doesn't have these weaknesses, it gives the best of both worlds; both inner detail and surface clarity!

Specifications

The Obscurum rock was transformational for my sound system. I placed it on top of my power conditioners and it improved the sound of my KEF LS50W active speakers, increasing sound stage and clarity letting me hear deep in to the mix. Just when I thought, it couldn’t get any better, I added a second Obscurum and it added a new level of realism; much better transients and vocals become much more real, almost as if the singer is in the room. No joke. The Obscurum tweak is a long term solution in maximizing sound quality and you can easily use it in your new sound system should you ever change components. As a bonus, it also improved the video quality on my LG OLED Tv. It was easy to see the difference as I noticed I had to lower the light setting of the OLED as it had gotten extra bright and more vivid. The hardest part about Audiophile Rocks is believing that these tweaks actually do work. Once I tried, my doubts were put to rest. Amazing stuff. Thank you

If you cannot hear a difference from cables or power conditioning, then you probably won't hear a difference from our tweaks either. However, you may still hear the improvements subconsciously, meaning that the music sounds better but you can't really say why. This is because your ears aren't trained yet. There is no such thing as having "golden ears", everyone starts the audiophile hobby as a beginner, and builds up their listening skill from experience. With Obscurum it may take many weeks until your ears have adapted. Therefore we offer you a 90 days money back guarantee. If you can't hear a difference when removing the Obscurum after that period, you can send it back for a full refund.
