Let me explain why I bought this... My Alto mixing desk went dead at a gig a few weeks ago. Off went the desk to the UK suppliers for repair - two weeks later and £180 lighter (cheaper than forking out £450+ for a new desk, mind) it was ready to be shipped back. I asked the engineer what might have caused the damage and he confirmed my suspicions it was either a power spike or surge (hardly surprising given the venue's notoriously dodgy sockets). He recommended this device. I was a bit sceptical at first, because I thought anti-surge board is an anti-surge board, right? Wrong. This 6-way mains conditioner with its wizardry gubbins inside ensures the power remains uninterrupted. I used it for the first time last week and was glad I did as the venue suffered two momentary power cuts within the space of 10 minutes (talk about lightning never striking twice!) Miraculously the desk remained on, whereas one of the powered speakers and the entire back line on the other side of the stage went as the RCD tripped. I know this is advertised primarily for Hi-Fi use, but believe me if you run a PA, this is a must have. My only regret is I bought one, but I'll soon be ordering another. Read full review

I bought this hoping it would eliminate a very small amount of white noise. It didn't - but the audio seemed transformed! More detail, more attack, but slightly less treble. I tweaked the EQ over several days until I had the sound just perfect, but today I realised that the EQ is now set EXACTLY as it was before I bought the unit and yet the treble has been restored. When I plug the amp into the mains, all the attack is still there and the treble sounds the same. As someone very wise once said, if you are listening for difference, you will hear it because your ears will focus on sounds they don't normally focus on. I'd send it back but the dog ripped the bubble wrap.

Great product works both on improving sound quality of CD Player, amplifier, sub woofer and surprisingly slightly improved picture on Sony 4K TV. Best used with adjacent Tacima SC5723 Mains Conditioning Plug together they “smooth out” the top end and reveal more detail and lower the noise floor and allow individual vocals and instruments to emerge from a “Wall of Sound”. Less distortion.

Does everything as advertised. Be prepared for a 2 meter length of cable that can’t be altered. I like to keep my cables tidy but now have a large loop of spare cable behind the unit. I feel a choice of cable lengths would be a real plus.

Normally I'm skeptical of gadgets marketed to improve the sound quality of your hifi, however I bought this recently to try to filter out the noise coming through my speakers from my power-over-ethernet adapter. And it actually works, really well... not only is there no more crackling when transferring data, but the bass is much more subtle and accurate, and mid/treble is cleaner and clearer. Highly recommended!
