thanks guys!
Just out of curiosity, how is the filtering achieved?
I mean, is it worth it?
As remarked above, any action devoted to improve the quality of the mains does have some effect on the overall performance of any HiFi system. A simple anti-RFI filetr is just the first and effective step: how much this filter can improve the performance of a given component is very hard to tell since much of this depends on the quality of the mains into your home.
Sometimes the results are outstanding, other times are just slightly audible. Of course, everything depends also on the level of transparency of your system: don't expect unbelievable improvements if your HiFi system isn't correctly installed and already optimized.
I can tell you what these filters have done to my (many ) HiFi components.
First of all I've tried one of these sockets with my TV set: I always experienced the annoying presence of nasty noises and horizontal rows when someone was using another electrical appliance at home, such as hair blowers or vacuum cleaners. Everything disappered as soon as the filter was installed, so effectively that I was ready for the big jump: if these devices are so effective with the TV, what could they do to my HiFi?
I had a problem with my HiFi systems: they sounded different depending on the hours of the day. The filter has almost totally solved this annoying problem and now I can listen to my fav Music at any hour of the day.
Now the bass range is slightly deeper and the image better focused and realistic. Nothing that will make you stand up and applause but...yet something clearly audible.
You can use these filters with your CD player, D/A converter, turntable and with the preamplifier. Using these with an amplifier or power amplifier should be carefully evaluated before installing.
If the HiFi component you want to filter doesn't have an IEC socket (that is, a detachable power cord) you can always drill a hole in the cabinet (voiding the warranty, of course!) and install the new filtered socket. Obviously enough you'll need an IEC plug terminated power cable.

A little question: if I send you pre-drilled fronts, can you print them accurately?
If you can offer this kinda service....we can move from dead point with fronts!
Stereo, can you post up a pic of the case and fronts you will sell for this build, how many holes at the back and will it cater for the full featured version. Also price shipped to Australia?stereokillah said:Igor said:Killah, no prob at all, I will hold a pair of pcb's for you even for a year!

thank Igor
for the panels the answer is yes the expensive question is the shipping from france, because of the size i can sent it by letter but by like box and for th destination out of europe the shipping should be around 24 euros.
or sent you directly should be better
i'm actually working on panels support in plexi for 5 fronts 1U 483 x 44 mm on the same support.
so i can make full feat. and simple in same time for same price, after calibrating the maching i don't need matrix
