Thesedays I find that I listen to music more at my computer than anywhere else, even more than my iPod touch! So, it’s important for me to get the best sound that I can. Last November I bought some Altec Lansing VS2321 2.1 speakers and I’ve been more than happy with the results. Prior to buying those I had been using JBL Pro speakers with my Mac Mini.

This afternoon I was alerted to an audio enhancement plugin for iTunes by my friend Nik, when he mentioned it on Twitter. After a recommendation like that I could hardly wait to get over to the iWow website, where I downloaded the v2 demo. The difference is pretty astounding. I’ve been more than happy with the sound my set-up produces without any extra enhancement, but when you switch iWOW on then you really do know about it!

It took me approximately 3 minutes after hearing the difference in the demo, to head to the site to purchase it for $19.99. I captured a little video of me switching on and off iWOW so you can perhaps get an idea of the difference. Sadly it doesn’t come across well, so I’d recommend you download the demo, either for Mac or PC. Without the enhancement enabled you can hear mostly bass, but when you enable it the sound is full and rich – quite a remarkable difference that you will only be able to appreciate fully when trying it yourself. But, here’s my video clip anyway. When the music starts it’s without the plugin enabled, but you’ll see on the screen when I do switch it on :)
