No I’m avoiding posting there for my sanity. That turd mongerer Nigel Bellend just triggers the fuck out of me with his peddling of £6000 audiophile switches. The cunt hasn’t got the first clue about networking (he’s a fucking ERP business consultant FFS) and even claimed that fibre is bad as it’s susceptible to RFI and EMI noise 
When people started saying they use fibre he started selling a £6000 fibre switch.
See even thinking about him has me…
It’s an Airlink BPS5120MP. Yes it is expensive, albeit massively less-so than an equivalent audiophool-branded product - if you can find one with this much current headroom. It also needs you to be able to wire it up - Airlink make less faffy options - albeit for a bit more £.
For my system it makes a very significant difference, and that comes after years of refining my own passive power filters.
As well as isolation, I’m also using it to drop the voltage seen by the system from the usual ~245 volts down to ~235 volts, and that is likely to be helping, given the majority of audio kit is designed for Europe’s nominal 230VAC rather than the ~240VAC we get in Britain.
It’s CE and EN61588-2-6 compliant - which is abundantly good-enough for me. Airlink make these things in very large numbers for a great many end-users - audiophools being the least of them - and as a registered company are fully and ruinously liable if end users are harmed by their products.
I’m actually now sorry I didn’t get one a lot sooner, it works that well. Subjectively it’s the full ‘that flawless sound you only get at 3AM on a sunday morning’ effect - everything I play sounds smoother, quieter, calmer and more realistic.
Being a pessimist, I’m always ready to be disappointed, but this is the opposite - better than I expected. It’s the biggest upgrade I’ve made this side of better speakers.
I’m using a high-current DC-blocking filter to feed it because it’s a huge toroidal transformer, so saturates loudly when there’s DC offset on the mains, as demonstarted with a hot-air gun at half power! I’d not use an isolating tx without it, as you’ll never be getting the best performance.
ALL mains treatments involve a compromise, and all of them - if poorly implemented or used incompetently - can do nothing, or actively do harm, for a host of reasons. This thing - by breaking the line of noise transmission to a very significant extent seems the best compromise. Just so long as your back and your ability to tolerate ugly lumps of metal allow it…
Want one! If you can foo it & it doesn’t burn my office down.
Cruel. Have a raffle ticket.
Whadda ya think about it Mike ?
Too early to say yet Al, only half an LP in 
Ah ok gotcha 
Off to audition a (used) Jay’s Audio CDT3 M3 today.
I fear for my wallet.
Get it on the TT2 and adjust the suspension!
not at all sure the bearing (or motor) would be up to it.
Just started using mine on the 401
Is it a big improvement Stu?
Only just put it on yesterday,and just played a few tracks yesterday when Matt popped over.
I’ve also just put the goldring eroica cart on,and a loaner head mc amp as well,so it’s hard to judge what’s doing what.
As a whole it sounds very good,but I haven’t used an mc cart for a few years.
Just wondering if I should put some small round little felt spacers between the platter and mat.
I haven’t tried it on a TT2 but I used to use the all copper Rubato mat on one without any issues.
