Sorry, late to the discussion. I started using Akiko Audio ten or so years back and have been happy with the difference they make. I saw on the Akiko website that a new, copper colored triple enhancer was introduced. Apparently this new filter is like the original triple enhancer on steroids. It seems cool but I doubt I need it. The game changer for me was when I plugged an XLR tuning stick into the back of my DAC. With the Akiko products, there is a significant burn in period. Until completely broken in, they create some graininess which can be difficult to endure. Anyway if I’m not mistaken, I believe Akiko Audio was the first to offer these plug in filters.
The best plug in filter ever!
Puron AC Power Conditioner by Greg Voth
After reading rave review of Puron AC plug in filter, I had got one 10 days ago.
For your information my system is very complicated with bi amping and three Farad linear supplies.
Thus I have 14 power cables, one main power conditioners, three isolation transformers.
I had tried plug in fliters from quiet lines, quartet stecker, IFI, furutech, Nordost Qv2 and QX2 fliters.
I still have all of them in my system without selling any of them.
I am collector. 😁
All of them had brought slight improvement but not drastic change.
But as soon as I inserted Puron Ac filter, it made background black with more details and clear bass.
The stereotimes review is spot on.
Encouraged by the result, I had ordered two more of them so that I can insert more of them close to amps and Dac.
Now my system got transformed with more vivid and clear sound stage but not overetched.
This is the best 750$ that I had spent during last 5 years in my audio system.

@lowrider57 Akiko makes tuning sticks with RCA’s, XLR, and prongs for outlets. They also make sticks that attach to cables. Here’s the website; |
I read the PF articles. They do lend credibility. The problem I have is the lack of any explanation about the product,. Why is it such a secret? There are plenty of devices that use electronic internal designs or ceramic / crystal formulations encased in a carbon fiber tube, Rational explanations are always welcome and stimulate sales. |
I am not a tweak atheist and I am a firm believer in the LessLoss products 640X is freaking awesome and I am next moving to the Firewire Speaker Filters. LessLoss also explains how their filters work and components work. |
