Years ago, when I owned tube gear, I obtained posession of Gryphon's The Exorcist. It emits a medium frequency pulse that reportedly helps eliminate DC leakage residue that accumulates with continued power ups of amps and general usage.

I have since been tube-less, but retain and continue to use the Exorcist, thinking that with all the crap I have accumulated, the device helps to clean the sound and give my equipment some extra help in the longevity department. I may be a mad hatter for saying so, but I discern a notable difference for doing so: vocals are clearer, the extreme frequencies are reproduced more smoothly and the staging is deeper and more three dimensional in quality.

So, the question for you guys is: Am I falling sucker to a placebo-type device: i.e., is this a sugar pill or the real deal?

Or am I just a crazy gadget-head who falls prey to the latest gimmick?

And what the heck is DC leakage anyway? I hear tell that lines emit electrons and those electrons accumulate and degrade the signal. Since most of my stuff has been bought second hand, I think it prudent to make sure that everything is cleaned up. Is this some sort of degausser that is really doing anything?

Thanks....
