Customer Reviews

Excellent product for a giveaway price!
I was a touch sceptical about mains filtering, sure I've got the exceptional interconnects, the energy absorption hi-fi stands, the spikes, the sorbothane and granite and they all work superbly in tightening the sound. But the mains? Fairly constant and surely it can't affect the sound right?

Wrong.

I popped this in front of my system (Musical Fidelity A3.5 & Tri-Vista DAC 21, Audiolab 8000Q & 2 8000P's, Martin Logan Aeon-i electrostats and MJ Acoustics PRO100 sub all hooked up with Krystal Avenger interconnects and QED X-Tube400 speaker cable) and the result was delightful.

For the ludicrously low price this has to be worth having. Whether you are an audiophile like me or just have a decent hi-fi, for the money this is a superb purchase. The effect on the sound was an overall tightening of the image, vocals became crisper and very realistic and the detail was brought out even further than it had been.

I'm now considering spending a lot more on a mains filter if this is the result of spending £40. Superb.

Good value accessory
An unexceptional looking device that initially has a subtle effect but you soon notice how much background noise has disappeared. This device just lets your TV or hifi work to its true potential. The picture on my TV improved and the hifi had greater clarity. I liked it so much I bought a second one as I got fed up transfering the first one between the hifi and home-cinema.

supresses existing RF problems
We already had RF problems on our ring main. This caused picture breakup on freeview whenever the dishwasher or paper shredder were on (as they are on same ring circuit). I hated watching live or a recorded programme only to find picture breakup when ever the dishwasher pump cut in! This was the least cost 'respected' solution I could find and thought it was worth a go given the cost compared to other products in this field.
Did it work - yes - no more dishwasher problems and the shredder now only produces odd pixels of noise.
So if you are already having RF problems as a result of other devices in your house, then this will give clear improvements for a small outlay.
As for sound / picture quality - sorry - no change as far as I can tell - but I did not buy it for this reason.
