Hello to Thorman and A'goNers whose eye this has caught.
Thanks for the kind words Thorman. We're appreciative and I'm pleased to hear that again, we've made a good positive difference with your music listening enjoyment.
A bit of info: The Bloom Box, and our Z-der BlocK which is a single source for load version, really is a special accessory. The idea is to passively re-clock the relationship between the voltage and current that comes out of your wall. A good degree of Power Factor Correction is another way to describe what this device does. In laymen's terms, in a typical home environment, current will typically lag the voltage. This isn't good and we believe is more of an issue than typical power conditioning. Correct the Power Factor of the AC that comes out of your wall and suddenly common solutions packaged in power conditioning gear becomes way less of an issue if even an issue remains at all. Some higher end audio products are incorporating straight ahead active PFC in their gear. We've chosen a passive approach because we feel it's a "cleaner" and "quieter" approach just as Thorman described the improved quietness resulting in better definition. There are no series components used and the device does not current limit. An image of the device can be viewed by copying and pasting this URL in your address bar:

Pictured on top of the Bloom Box is the Z-der BlocK.
A few clarifications. The Bloom Box is not a power cord as Thorman's title suggests. It's an accessory and probably should have been posted in the Accessories Reviews forum. The unit can be ordered with a hard wired Poiema!! power cord (with which it will work the very best with) or with an AC inlet for use with any after market AC power cord. Inlets or our hard wired power cord can be either end or back mounted to suit your installation requirements the best.There are a myriad of options including additional outlets and a 20 amp inlet and / or outlet version.
Thanks again Thorman and again, we're glad you're enjoying it enough that you felt it meritted posting your impressions.
Best to all,
Robert
