Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???:


Looking at two power line conditioners under $400 on sale.  The Blue Circle PL-2 Thingee conditioner and the Transparent Audio PL-2 # 6   conditioner.  The Blue Circle has received a few good reviews, especially Good Sound which was impressed by the: improved sound: that is:  blacker background for music, lower noise floor, better imaging and focus. I have  found little about the .Transparent Audio conditioner which has a more traditional appearance and layout.  I have concerns about the design of Blue Circle  unit which embeds the circuits and outlets in a 5 inch metal tube that is filled with silicon for improved  isolation against vibration.  

The review claimed that the unit gives off a pungent odor because of the silicon crystal insulation.  I am not sure that is not a health hazard along with the  potential  toxicity of the silicon.    Need some feed back about the effectiveness of both products, and the bizarre design and build of the Blue Circle unit.    Thank you

Thanks to all who have responded so far.  It looks like the Blue Circle Thingee is leading the race.  

 Cheers  and Happy Holidays to all

I agree with illuminator, regarding the purchase of the PLC Thingee FX2 X0e 6 outlet Power Conditioner. If I recall correctly, it actually has improved filtering over older models.
If anyone is interested PM me, I have one PLC Puck and one PLC Thingee FX2 X0e 6 outlet (neither are broken in or being used) that I could post. My additional PLC Thingee FX2 X0e 6 outlet Power Conditioner is still in use.

I would only consider the Transparent if the rest of your system use Transparent cabling.

Otherwise, I use a Richard Gray Pro400 for over 10 yrs now w/o any issue(s). Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
