If we created a stand-alone DC blocker product, it would probably be the most expensive product of its type on the market. Necessarily so to perform at a level we feel is adequate to be used with +50K amplifiers without degrading their sonic capabilities.

One of the stand-alone DC-blocker I tried that performed reasonably with my Stereo1.0 Constellation amp, is Vibex Granada from Spain, price about €2500. Do you have tested this device?

Annotation: I mentioned the Vibex to give an idea of the price tag of a reasonable DC-blocker. I'm sure Shunyata can build a better one and then when it is included in the European 2000/T and costs not more than about €5000, then it will be a competitive state-of-the art power conditioner with DC-blocker!
