    Default FS: Tube Distinctions mains power filter

    I have for sale a Tube Distinctions The Mains Works mains filter manufactured by Mark Grant.
    Below are some details from the Mark Grant page: https://markgrant.co.uk/mains-filter...er-filter.html

    "The Power Works Mains power filter is based on an original proven design by Anthony Mathews from Tube Distinctions and has been in use by professional musicians for many years.

    The design has been vigorously optimised by Mark Grant for maximum performance in your system.

    This is a digital mains noise power filter to remove both differential mode and common mode noise from the incoming mains supply and prevent forwarding noise from any digital source device from getting any further in your system.

    The internal layout has been designed to ensure an equal resistance path to both sockets while also ensuring an equal power delivery to both sockets.

    Each socket is individually filtered to ensure noise from one plugged in device cannot reach another device plugged into the adjacent socket.

    The Power Works mains filter has multiple stages of filtration to remove mains borne noise from noisy electrical devices on your mains supply and also reduce Radio frequency and wireless noise that is present on the mains supply.

    Each of the filter modules inside the power filter is a bespoke custom hand made design using discrete components. No off the shelf filters are used in this device.

    The components are all of the highest quality and each filter module is a balanced design using hand picked, measured and matched component values.

    Nearly every electrical device you buy has a noisy switch mode power supply that leaks noise into the electrical cables in your house or studio. Also Radio frequencies from mobile phone transmitters and TV transmitters can be present on the mains supply and this digital noise filter reduces them by a huge amount.

    The noise reduction of this filter has been scientifically measured at 52dB, this is a huge amount of noise reduction.

    The maximum total load is 10 amps which is around 2300 watts.

    Especially designed for source components such as:

    CD players
    Dacs
    Blu ray players
    Computers
    Streamers

    CE approved and independently tested for compliance and performance."
    This one comes with one schuko and one uK standard outlet socket.
    These retail at £350+ and I am asking £175 plus postage.

    Can you explain please how you employ this. Should each hi fi component have its own socket?

    That’s right. I was using it with my DAC and CD player. I have now changed to a battery power supply for my DAC and ripped my CDs onto a server so it’s no longer getting enough use to justify an extra box.

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down
