Equipment failure with Dakiom tweaks?

Not here- I have them on my cd player, power amps & speakers.
I cannot explain exactly what they do, but they do make a positive difference in the sound.
My brother says that the sound is clearer & more refined with more detail.

I agree with your brother, as I've experienced a sonic improvement with them.
I just added a Cambridge DacMagic into my system, and when I contacted Cambridge to make sure there wasn't a compatibility issue, it was strongly suggested to me that I do not use them with the DAC.
I *didn't* check on my MSB Full Nelson dac which went belly up after months of trouble free use, with the tweak installed. So, causality is hard to know.
Of course, I'm somewhat concerned about the rest of my equipment which has been tweaked.....

My experience is the same as Paladin; with both solid state and tubes I heard a noticeable improvement and there have been no operational issues or failures with the Dakiom s in the system.

My experience with Dakiom has been for the most part very negative. I have experimented with the 273s and have found the following:

* Using it with Rowland gear 501s/Capri is a big mistake
as it produced a huge buzz the moment the equipment was
turned on.

* Using it with Rotel componets in our second home was OK
until I replaced it with an Audio Magic interconnect and
the system improved dramatically.

* Unhappy with the 273s I tried to return them but was
refused even though the Dakiom website clearly says that
they are guaranteed.

* The only use I have found for them is in connecting an
Sony HD Tuner to our main system. The Sony HD unit was
purchased for under a $100.00 and that one componet seems
to benefit versus standard interconnects.

Overall, I would strongly urge fellow AudioGon members to be extremely careful with these Dakiom products. I mean, just read through the advertising and tell me if this sounds like rational argument or the ravings of a 'very sad little man'!

I found the Dakiom tweaks work more magic with mid-hi than hi-fi. Put them on a Marantz 1250 int. amp, Denon CDP, and there was a real improvement. Put them on my current system, and can't tell the difference.
