Just believe! Once you believe, then all things are possible! Mind over matter, you know.

I swear to the powers-that-be when I first saw the pic when I clicked on the link I was thinking: Oh, that looks like an interesting cookie. Or is it a donut? Then I read it... shook my head... I'd rather have a cookie!

I thought it was the smallest turbo wheel ever made.

Win for the guy selling them.

Win for the guy selling them.

Everybody wins. According to the manufacturer, the things convert bad energy to good energy. Sounds similar to the PS Audio blinky thing in that regard. Somehow it takes him 25 hours to make. He also sells luxury fuses.

So it comes with a bag of weed?

You are going to need some for it to work properly.

"Patented UEF technology"..
Um, it's a $150 duplex cover.

How can one be sure they won’t catch fire or explode? Inquiring minds want to know...

Given that almost none of this pixie dust audiophile stuff has no UL/CSA certification, I wouldn't trust any of it.

I trust my NAD amplifier, with its regular power cord that came with the unit. It has UL/CSA. I trust my Topping gear.
I'd never trust what looks like spare fancy bike parts that plug into an AC outlet. I'd love to see someone tear those things down to see what is inside them.

That Oyaide is better... because it is more expensive and it's shipped free, with Amazon Prime

Yeeh, me too. I thought it looked like a chocolate or licorice crueler. Perhaps even more disturbing than the nonsense of how it came to be and what it does (nae, what it doesn't do), would be to learn how many people actually purchase one of these.

I'd accept this over carbonfiber wall plates and $250 electrical sockets

Gawd those look fabulous! I know they'd make my system sound better as they'd make me feel happy!

Golden capacitors

Yeah, we Danes have a quite large amount of serious audio muscles to flex considering our laughably small population. But unfortunately we are also responsible for a lot of the voodoo peddling

Golden capacitors

I wonder if 'audio grade' is low on the scale of capacitor applications/specs.

 

[Helicopter]

I wonder if 'audio grade' is low on the scale of capacitor operating demands.

I always hope that means it won't burn my house down in a properly designed circuit.
