They use some crystals to clean high frequencies that interferes with the music signal. I don't know how that works but there is a clear audible effect. I'v tried it in some different systems with the same results. Clearer voices, more air and smooth sound.







You use them in a empty XLR-socket. I used them in my Pre Amp.

They comes in RCA-versions as well.

There are different levels from about around 100-600€ (for 2). XLR is more expensive than RCA
I tried the lowest level XLR but I want to try the Higher levels RCA as well.

There is a problem with the non existing explanation of how they really works. But the effekt is quite clear and I'm not doubtful about that. They works well, at least in my and my friends systems.

Just so you know my standpoint about tweaks. I'm sceptic but I try to be openminded.

The most important thing is to match your system with the big parts. Source, both digital and analogue, amplification, speaker, cables, clean power and Acoustics. Then it will sound fabulous.
To reach out for some lost percent in your system, a good rack can help, and some tweaks.
I'm always sceptical about tweaks mostly because it often is hard to understans why they should work at all. Quite often it doesn't do much good, but sometimes I get confused about how to react about the unexpected good effect. I try this carefully my self and with others. Family members and friends. Family members are brutally honest and they are blind testet. This time every person, including me, heard a instant difference in the music when changing the pluggs in and out. Everyone thought it was better with the EPLUGGS than without and it was easy to hear.

I always try to have a skeptical point of view when I test things but at the same time I try to be open to whatever happens.

My HiFi gear weights about 1000kg. (no girls included) The original house (1930) is rebuilt (1970 and 2005) and the floor in my living room is built in two different ways. Old part is strong and the newer part is weaker. The right part of my HiFi rack and speaker is standing in a pit and the floor is moving a bit when you walk by the right speaker. The pit is 2-3 cm deep because of the weight. There the girls are, there are no problems. Rock solid floor.
This is not ok so the floor has to be reinforced.

We used to dance here, especially at New Years evening...



The girls just love The Sonus faber... but now they were left alone. A shame.

Something has to be done.

At first a cold lovely winter view by the west coast archipelago.



And now hard core HiFi adaptation of the house.

Here is the lowest part of the HiFi pit.



And here is what we did in the basement storage under the living room and the HiFi gear.



We reinforced the hole floor with laminated wood and level regulated it. Now the floor is rock solid and the level is the same everywhere.
That's what it takes to have this hobby. Rebuilt the house. My wife just smiles... Crazy isn't it? But it's worth it. Music is important.
