I can tell you everything that I put one on sounds better.

I'm intrigued I'm wondering if it offers anything in addition to emi reduction?

I wish they didn’t work so well, because I use them on every single piece of gear I own.

I am pondering Puma Cat's original Flux 50 but read a couple of things concerning me about how it will work in my system.

First, I read a comment in an earlier thread, or earlier in this thread, the Flux 50 can be restricting if used on a power amp. My intent is to us it on my integrated amp.

Second, there was discussion the Flux-50 doesn’t have much of an effect when used with power cords with in-line networks. I have urgent model mid-line Transparent Audio power cords with network, or whatever it’s called, in-line.

Any feedback on how these two issues affect potential improvements when using the Flux 50.

Thanks!

Its superfluous now that I have a Shunyata Tritoon power distributor. I was originally using it with my Premeir 17 LS preamp.

Yes, it does

Not sure what you mean by an inline-network. I've used it with Shunyata power cords and it provides a notable reduction in noise.

The Flux 50 NCF does not restrict any current. I use them on every one of my power amps as well as all my other components.

There is a visual improvement also when using these with display devices such as Projectors, and Flat Screen TV’s.

That's absolutely true, too; good point, Ivan.

The blacks are literally blacker, contrast is improved and the colors are more vivid. You can literally see the improvement they bring.

Just read the whole thread, after the other recent review of Dan.
I will have to try one I think.

Ivan, do you sell European models?
Second question, do you use one on your Burmester 948, or do you use one on every device?
