it sounds like an extension cord; i.e., it's only as good as the cord you use to plug it into an outlet (the supplied cord is pretty wimpy). the quality of the outlet, of course, also affects the juicebar's sonic signature. the price of the juice bar is pretty fair ($200), considering that it has 3 power port outlets that retail for $50 each (these are replated hubbells). you can find discounts on all ps gear, BTW. -cfb
