Strange tweak

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

When I ran a separate DAC and transport, I used a couple of devices from Audience Technologies called the Tactic and the Audit. One had a battery bias which was supposed to raise the digital audio signal above ground, and the other had a digital repeating device which supposedly gave a stronger signal being right at the receptor. It worked well but I no longer use a converter and so they sat around for a couple of years.
At any rate I elected to see if they would work on the digital signal to my receiver. They work fabulously, and I have greatly enhanced sound with tremendous detail and nuance. The surprising thing though is that my picture to my Marantz 50" plasma has significantly improved also. This, despite the fact that I run a DVI cable directly from the Marantz DV 8400 to the plasma, has me extremely puzzled. I get much better contrast, white levels, and fine details in the picture. Everything is much more three dimensional. Colors are significantly fuller and almost have an iridescent glow to them when viewing animation.
Anybody have any ideas? The receiver is a Marantz SR 8200, BTW.
