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 ;-)

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!

After reading the reviews on the Tacima 6 way mains conditioner I bought myself one.....I noticed the difference in picture quality straight away, and this is on my 42" Pioneer hooked up to a Virgin media Hi Def box!!! It made the picture sharper and colours more vivid!! I didn't think this was possible as the picture was so good before and yet there is an improvement. One thing I will say though is I can't tell any difference in sound quality but that doesn't matter as I am using an Onkyo amp with Velodyne Sub and Definitive front/center/rear speakers! This product is well worth the money!!!

The Tacima makes a massive difference to your listening pleasure. I have two, one on my Quad 33/303 and Garrard 301 set-up and the other on the Denon surround amp and Panasonic TV set-up. All the clicks and bangs from household appliances disappear and the overall effect is a great sound improvement. I can recommend this product wholeheartedly.

I bought this for a guitar pedal board and amp set up to give maximum surge protection in dodgy clubs with poor wiring for my expensive kit on the road. Not only does it have surge protection but it has one of the best midrange mains filters without spending a fortune which eliminates a lot of problems for musical production with hums, hisses and rf interference. The plug board is heavy duty, large with thick cable that survives some travel and impact abuse. The lack of any red light indicators on it helps reduce interference even more. It feels sturdy and has a very secure mount when plugging in and out. It's not fancy looking like some of the overpriced kit for AV set ups. I'd highly recommend this for music or higher end home AV set ups to protect your kit and give a very noticeable audio clean up. I've not tried it with visuals but I imagine itd perform well.

Was initially a little skeptical about this product and am always a little untrusting o what hi fi reviews due to sponsorship /endorsement. However I needed an extension lead for my high-end av setup and needed t surge protecting. After reading alot about this I decided to give it a go and while I cannot see a difference in picture quality there is a difference with the audio quality, and doing a blind test it is noticeable. Also has cleared up a very small humming noise when the amp/speakers are on and no music is being played.
Overall I think its very good for the price should be noted thought that the TACIMA is identical to the LINDY just with a different logo on it.

Sockets fault
Some sockets are faulty. The plug from a device does not go into all of the sockets. It is very stiff. Best check when/if you get yours that all the sockets can be used. Read more
