Well it's true that these blocks won't cure fundamental issues with your equipment nor will they turn a sow's ear into a silk purse - previous reviewer take note. Also the quality of mains supply and the level of noise from other appliances varies enormously from house to house. I used one on my stereo - all fairly high end gear - in my flat in London and the difference was immediately noticeable - put it this way I have heard less difference between a CD player costing £500 and one costing £3000 than the benefit this little box gave me. I won't try to describe how it sounded here because that is the road to certain failure and pretentiousness but I will say that anyone dissatisfied with the sound of their hi-fi that is considering upgrading,spend 25 quid on one of these first. Obviously you'll end up upgrading anyway eventually - after all it's what we (audiophiles) do isn't it? But it might mean you can wait just a little longer!

Like many others, I suspect, I did'nt believe mains conditioning and filtering could make much difference, but having bought a Blu-ray player I thought I would give it the best chance of performing well. This sort of performance assessment is subjective but video and audio performance seem clearer and more stable, particularly freeview which often broke up. Its not much of a gamble at the price.

I have experienced first hand bad interference on the mains line at a relatives flat, which caused a lot of problems with his PC.
That being said I was still a little skeptical of what improvements could be made here, AV experience is always quite subjective anyway and I am dubious of gushing reviews in What Hi-Fi for a £150 kettle lead.
I was looking for a nice solid mains gang adapter anyway and this mains conditioner is great value and I have to say I'm a sucker for exposed components with that toroidal transformer on show.
Now how does it perform? Well visually can't say I've noticed any difference however visually I've never had any problems anyway.
Audio however is noticeably improved, especially with my Sub Woofer, in quiet moments it would pick up an annoying interference type noise however this has cleared up!
All in all it's a nice solid gang adapter with a mains conditioner for a great price.
I plan to buy another one for my Home Cinema room, once I get round to building it ;-)
