for the Infinity Circuit Breaker Filter


I have done a lot of tweaking the last few years and never has a tweak had such an immediate and easily noticeable impact. I bought five of these and utilized them as recommended on Alan's site. I removed the breaker panel cover put two on the main AC zero gauge wires that feed the panel. I then put one on the actual breaker that feeds my system also as per the site.

The two left over went on my 20A IEC's for my CDP and LF Amp. I used wire ties to secure them all in place. Setup took less than half an hour. It was time to listen.

The character of my system changed pretty drastically (for the better) and more so than any other tweak I have tried. I was a dealer for many years and it took me until about ten years ago to even try anything to treat AC with my logic being the power supplies in the components changes the current to DC and filters it anyway. Why would I do things like buy power cords, regenerate AC, filter AC with chokes and R/C filters, change outlets and outlet covers. Well I do all of those now and wish I had tried them before I did to reap their benefits. But with the exception the the P-300 regenerator on my sources nothing has done as much as these Infinity CBF's.

The first disc I played was Steely Dans "Two Against Nature" and on the title track the clap machine became much less annoying, the back up vocals more audible and more pinpoint in the stereo image. I heard the baritone sax more easily. The bass had more authority and everything became more dynamic.

The soundstage got wider and individual parts of the recordings I listened to became easier to hear and more sharply located. These things are really a joy. I can't wait to get home and re-listen to more of my collection.

A great value and returnable with a small restocking fee if you don't like them I recommend everyone try this affordable tweak.
