Tip-On the gear that you have the filters on...leave them powered up over night and have a listen in the morning.

I really didn't believe, but I figured it was worth a shot for the money, and much to my surprise, they made a difference.

I am ordering some more later today. I am going to try one on the TV.

Dan, I experienced the same thing Klipchsfan did. The soundstage is better, the background is crystal clear.

You should check it out.

Just wanted to let the members know that Alan Maher designs has a pre-order sale going on till the 21st of FEB. Great products and well worth a demo...


Exclusive facebook Bulk Pre-Order Sale Feb 15-21

The rules are very simple for the facebook sale, you must have a facebook account (secured or non-secured) and requested/accepted into our fan listing.
Watch out for daily and hourly specials. The rules for the daily and hourly specials are as follows, all items must be ordered within the time constraints of the offer and not a minute after in order to receive the special pricing. On the other hand, if the email is received in the middle of the night and I’m sleeping, as long as the email was sent during the time constraint that is fine. The sale will kick off midnight tonight (CET), so for you folks on the east (6PM) and west coast (3PM) don’t forget to check in.


If you haven't yet signed up for our facebook page you are missing out.


Check it out!

Since you heard the system, have added 2 Ref II's and 1 Ref III to non-AV circuits. Audio is insanely good and the Video is off the chart...

During the sale have ordered a Custom Quantum Studio for the AV circuit.
From Alan-"I only make the Custom version available once or twice a year, the performance is the best we offer".

Also ordered a few of the new Lithium CBF's and Large Infinitys. Not sure if I'm done yet...

Will say that my Audio and Video has been enhanced beyond anything that I have ever could have imagined!!!

Huge THANKS to Alan Maher designs products.

The Ref II and Ref III take about four weeks to break-in.
Mine are sounding great!

My two channel system has an amazing transparency and dynamics that I have never experienced before.

My HT system has a soundstage that is wall to wall. Even my Roku streaming player has greatly improved in both sound and picture quality.

I added two more Signature CBF's on Main Wire bundle inside the service panel prior to the main breaker and moved the Infinity CBF to the "Earth Ground wire".
I was not sure how the two Signature CBF's would sound sandwiched between the main wire bundle,but they sound even better than using a single CBF.



Infinity CBF over breakers for two systems.


Infinity CBF on power cord to my LCD TV.

I have been installing these Alan Maher devices with great success as well, but I wonder about attaching one to the ground. I'm not sure, when I think of the use of a Ground conductor in an 120 VAC house circuit, if that makes sense to me. No current is flowing through that connection unless there is an issue, and then the circuit breaker would trip.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose to put one on the ground connection?
