I've said it before. For a long time Duelund was responsible for keeping my national pride at bay, but then I discovered Ansuz. A whole new level of embarrassment :facepalm:
 
It's functionality is explained in yesterday's YouTube video with Robert Harley.
Whoops! My bad. Altaira by Shunyata. Ground control to major tong!

Please resist next time. Another release of bovine manure...
Anytime you see Shunyatta, along with Audioquest, Nordost, Enteq, MIT, Cardas, Kimber etc.... don't click! Run...

Peace.
 
Ohhh... I wonder if they are filled with dirt and magic pixie dust like the Entreq ones, or just hot air.

It's ferroelectric pixie juice...

"AC power transmission is typically transmitted as a sine wave at a frequency of 50 or 60 hertz. Power lines are susceptible to EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) due to the fact that power lines are relatively long and are generally not shielded. The EMI/RFI noise transmitted along with the power line frequency can interfere with the proper operation of electronic equipment. It is especially harmful to the sonic performance of high-end audio and video equipment. It is therefore desirable to substantially reduce or entirely eliminate EMI/RFI before it enters an electronic device."
