I'm guessing that this is a simplified version of MITs construction, which again I'm guessing is a carfully staggered bank of lowpass filters, somewhat akin to their excellent, if somewhat dated powerline filter.... anyway, the Enacom is a 1st order filter tuned to 100 KHz, I'm told... and it does eliminate a significant amount of ringyness, which really does screw up the tonal putity and image quality, whaich it theoretically shouldn't at 100 KHz, but maybe 100KHz forming heterodynes (summation and difference products) with other things IS a significant source of contaminantion... so if you carefully spaced an array of filters to scrub out everything above a knee frequency, you eliminate a great cloud of heterodynes from high frequency to RF sources... as for their means of extending low frequency articulation ? Some form of resonant energy storage, the electrical equivalent of a tuned port in a speaker ? Interesting to see whats happening.
