CD players like the Audio Aero Capitole and others using the Anagram
S.T.A.R.S. module, seems to be doing quite well. I have no experiences with
the rest of their modules yet.
You are right, their web page contains little relevant information. It could
be that they are holding the deck close to the body towards the competition.

Not talking about the OTLs here, but SS amps equipped with the
Anagram power loop module....

Which raises the issue of what Anagram's technology is.

The answer should lie at http://www.anagramtech.com .

Curiously the description of their company's technology at
http://www.anagramtech.com/base/haut.html
does not seem to include any discussion of the power loop module, despite
a
conspicuous picture of said module.

Here's quotes of a a few sentences from near the top of the page at
http://www.anagramtech.com/base/haut.html

"The RE24 process raises 20 bit data streams to 24 bit resolution and 16
bit
data streams to 20 bit resolution."
This would be the audio equivalent of perpetual motion. Nothing but!

" RE24 shifts the truncation noise out of the audible band."

This is feasible and routinely done with established technology that is
in
the public domain.

"However, unlike usual noise-shaping techniques, the RE24 process adds an
algorithmically generated noise in the upper part of the spectrum."

Adding an algorithmically-generated noise in the upper part of the
spectrum
is *exactly* what conventional noise-shaping does.

"As the process is not correlated with the incoming signal, it is free of
intermodulation distortion."

Adding an algorithmically-generated noise in the upper part of the
spectrum
that is not correlated with the incoming signal is *exactly* what
conventional noise-shaping does.

Conventional noise-shaping is free of intermodulation distortion, as well.

So there you have it. AFAIK Anagram Technologies proposes to deliver both
the audio equivalent of perpetual motion and exactly the same things that
the established technology they propose to upgrade already provides.

The rest of the web page is equally enlightening.

Why is the phrase "snake oil" running through my mind?
