Summary:
(Suggest that you disregard the previous review!) This is a unique product! It gives truly stunning results. I advise anyone interested in obtaining the finest power distribution block (be it for high end audio, video and digital applications) should consider this Audioplan product. It has unique and patented features which puts it well above anything else. It is a thoroughly well conceived, designed, engineered and built product which offers staggering results at what turns of to be a reasonable price: true 'affordable high end'. Some of the technical information is noteworthy....The star-shaped design of the PowerStar minimizes these differences in potential and establishes a direct reference to the main component in the system, the preamp or the power amp. This represents a decisive advantage in comparison to all conventional power outlet strips. In designing the PowerStar, we also paid attention to minimizing the connection points and resistances. The conductor star of the PowerStar S II is therefore soldered with pure silver and then silver-plated. This reduces the number of connection points to three per outlet: power plug to cable, cable to conductor star and conductor star to outlet

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
This product is ... nothing.

I once opened it. I was not the owner, a friend of mine,
a HiFi Enthusiast, had bought it or a lot of money.

We read the manual together.
It stated something about "wires isolated by air dielectric"

Of course, only 1% of all people understand what this means:

that this box only contains blank wires .

So, we opened the box, and guess what we found : 7 pairs ( sorry, theesomes:
don't forget earth ) of wires running from the central mains into the
7 sockets.

Wow, what a crap.

Sanders Sound 10b Speaker Review

No, you can’t always get what you want. The number of loudspeakers surpassing the cost of a decent family sedan is staggering. Then there are speakers that cost as much as a house.
