Taddeo Digital Antidote II (active version) with cable boxes ?

Video Asylum

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

having had great results with the SCE buffer stage inserted between my cable box and the toob (much clearer upper frequencies, distinctly improved dynamics, credible bass.... without it the sound collapses into grey lifeless grime)... I was curious if anyone has has experience with the active Digital Antidote II, should function both as a buffer stage and a signal de-randomizer... this came to me when I thought of how many stages of digital recording, post production manipulations, and broadcast technology the original audio has been wrestled through.... the Taddeo concept is rather ingenious and simple... the analog signal is delayed by 16 microseconds then added back to an undelayed signal, which should result in a "moving average" or smoothed data stream that would integrate the multitude of blips, grits, signal outliers into a more elegant soundfield.... the old rumors were that the worse the original signal, the better the Antidote worked... and given that television/cable sound is generally badly contaminated junk, this migh be a great use for an underappreciated old tweak...
