MIT Z Stabilizer ll ? operation ??

I haven't found any serious dicussion or information on how this AC power conditioner works.
I can attest that it can be "very" effective in my Spectral based system-in a variety of applications...
I have discovered it is very complementary to some other AC conditioning devices I use; and its benefits are increased by using a better power cord for it.
Can someone clarify what processes are going on in it?
Does anyone know what frequency ranges it addresses?
How would one technically measure its effectiveness?
Could it effectiveness be improved with parts improvement?
Hopefull(but not holding my breath) :)(:

Your kind words are gratefully accepted! The key to MIT Stabilizers, in general, is less about filtration (although they do an excellent job) and more about Power Factor Correction. In residential AC, the Voltage component and the Current component are rarely in phase with each other. This makes usable power LESS available. The ratio is called Power Factor. In Power Factor Correction (PFC), the Current and the Voltage are brought more into line with each other, and, therefore, the power transformers of your system "see" more available power. PFC has been used in the industrial world _almost_ as long as AC has been available. Bruce Brisson was (is) a pioneer in using PFC to improve the performance of residential (and studio) sound and video systems.
Hope this helps. Joe
