A USB Gizmo

This was shown to me by a dealer of high end products who had tried various usb enhancements and then devised his own.

Needed: A usb plug for the computer and a 100uF to 600 uF solid polymer capacitor.

Solder onto V+ and Gr. Charge up the capacitor with a 5V usb mains charger and insert into a usb receptacle of choice onto your computer, then play music. There is a difference for the better!

I have not tried this myself routinely but have heard it.

Caution. The usb plug with capacitor must be precharged first. You can add a 10 nF to 100nF NPO ceramic for good effect.
