The best reviews in this blind test are the Isotek Isoplug 👍👍 Nordost QK1 👍👍
Others did not fare well.
The best plug in filter ever!
Puron AC Power Conditioner by Greg Voth
After reading rave review of Puron AC plug in filter, I had got one 10 days ago.
For your information my system is very complicated with bi amping and three Farad linear supplies.
Thus I have 14 power cables, one main power conditioners, three isolation transformers.
I had tried plug in fliters from quiet lines, quartet stecker, IFI, furutech, Nordost Qv2 and QX2 fliters.
I still have all of them in my system without selling any of them.
I am collector. 😁
All of them had brought slight improvement but not drastic change.
But as soon as I inserted Puron Ac filter, it made background black with more details and clear bass.
The stereotimes review is spot on.
Encouraged by the result, I had ordered two more of them so that I can insert more of them close to amps and Dac.
Now my system got transformed with more vivid and clear sound stage but not overetched.
This is the best 750$ that I had spent during last 5 years in my audio system.

@jerryg123 I watched the video, thanks. The Akiko requires a significant amount of burn in time. Right out of the box, it's harsh and bright and the graininess is cringe worthy. After a few days, it begins to settle in but it probably needs a full two weeks to perform its best. The Akiko passive power conditioners require an even longer break in period. I'm not proselytizing Akiko but this test wouldn't be capable of testing the Akiko products fairly. Since Akiko and HiFi Cables are the only plugs that I own, I wouldn't know anything about the other companies. I will say that if these other plugs perform at their best right out of the box, that would certainly be an advantage. |
@goofyfoot I have a couple of Akiko passive filter in my systems also. I was just relaying what the video summary was. Scince going to LessLoss Firewire 640X's in my system the rest of the plugin filters are relegated to secondary systems. The LessLoss Firewire products cost much more and do that much more!

@jerryg123 then maybe I ought to consider the Les Loss filters over any others. Thanks! |
