Tried one many years ago and felt it killed the dynamics of the music. But hey , it may work in your system . The only way to find out is to try one :)

I use one in an array of mains treatments to minimise the noise in my house wiring. I have a Silencer, two PS Audio Harvesters and two Isoteks, as well as a P10 regenerator. There is very little noise as a consequence.

Don't use them if you have mains-borne plugpower ethernet networking.

RA returns policy is totally risk and hassle free

Steven - put it in the ring main close to your hi-fi system, I find it works best that way. I have all my 'passive' devices plugged into spare sockets in different rooms in the downstairs ring main.
