So much of a bargain, I think I'll have two. Amazing device - electric device plugging into the mains but uses no power.Only another £5,500. A bargain.
or in other words, capacitors

if you google image search you will see that it’s just a universal travel adapter with a uk either side.
But my bass is deeper, sound is brighter yada yada
I thought this was a joke until I actual clicked through to see they’re charging thousands for an adapter plug!!!But my bass is deeper, sound is brighter yada yada

The sales guff is hilarious:
These processes dramatically improve phase detail, this encompasses a whole host of sonic benefits: more low level information, better and more seperate harmonics, complicated musical passages rendered with more intelligibility, plus improved bass detail and slam and finally an overall sense of ease and naturalness even at high listening levels
It’s a plug!!! How can a plug do these things???

Expectation bias.Also, if you do a before and after "test", the physical exertion if getting up, crawling behind your hifi, plugging this in, and returning to listening position will up your heart rate a tad, changing blood flow to the brain. That can be enough to slightly shift your perception of sound.

That too.
Ideally double blind so the person running the test can't give it away.
I seem to remember a famous quote from one of the hifi forums, to the effect of "I don't trust double blind testing, because differences I know exist are no longer apparent in double-blind tests".

I wouldn't dare suggest that they've wrapped their own stickers around a standard fuse
I wonder how much an audio grade fuse for my local substation would be? My soundstage is a little muddy and I’d like my noise floor to be lower.
Perhaps I should put these concerns to my DNO? Although they’d probably want to put me on a smart meter which won’t do my mains jitter any good….

They describe the negative effect of "bottlenecking" where all the current to various devices has to flow through the same fuse... I suggest they rename this phenomonon to "turtle heading' which is probably more accurate and at least engages the correct part of the body for this thought process.pocketspring said:
£8K for a fuse with a 1 year warranty! I'd love to see the sales figures.BiggestVern said:

I read a 'customer' review of one of these audiophile fuses, where it was said the difference was more profound than upgrading 'a box' in the system. I don't know what's more worrying, that somebody somewhere believes this or that such claims go unchallenged.
