iFi Audio - AC iPurifier

Honestly i was half expecting this to be a dud, but somehow it does work. The improvement in sound seems broad but subtle. IMO, this product is for 'refining' the sound in a well setup upper-mid to high-end system that already has a good synergy between components. It won't turn a mediocre setup into a winner. Mine came with a Schuko plug, so i needed to purchase an adaptor seperately from Amazon (look for one by a brand OREI). Try it for yourself and see if it works for you..

This is not a review against Headphonezone.in, but for the iFi product. I have not seen any effect of this product on the sound of my music system either subjectively or objectively. The claims about running this for 100s of hour to get the benefits are baseless. I have used it for about 6 months now with daily 2 to 3 hours of usage (plugged into APC power strip). It will only add to your electricity bill (it runs warm, so some electricity is being used). IMHO, you will be better off in saving the money and buying a better speaker or a DAC - this is proven way to provide instant and noticeable improvements.

I already had an AC ipurifier which i installed on the distribution box. I installed one more in the empty mains socket next to the one on which my audio system is connected. It immediately made a positive difference in terms of clarity, the bass was more firm, the sibilance reduced and soundstage became wider. You need to run it continuously for more than 100 hours to get the results. the SQ on my system is improving everyday as more hours are put on the AC ipurifier.

Honestly I was apprehensive when I ordered the ifi AC Purifier. Most products of this nature fall flat when it comes to actual performance.

I started questioning my doubts after holding the Purifier in my hands. It's a wonderfully built and finished product! An reassuringly weighty for its minuscule proportions.

Though I had a fair idea about the noise floor my amp+components produced, checked them individually again ( normally i select the source on my Audiolab 6000A, then turn on the particular sour ce but do not play anything. Them I raise up the volume all the way to check how much inherent noise is audible ).

My Aune Audio X5S shows almost negligible distortion, followed by the SACD player, Blu Ray deck and finally the phono-stage for my turntable.

After the Purifier was plugged in to the first slot of my Belkin power strip and greenlighted the power supply, I ran the same tests once again.

And OMG, not a single component except the phono stage made any audibke noise! As the results were stupefying, I ran them again!
Silence!

So, this little trick actually works damned well!

I am truly impressed...

Awesome service from Headphone Zone, the product was very neatly packed and got delivered the next day.

Coming to the product, simply awesome !!!! I had issues of ground noise and the moment I plugged it in, all noises disappeared. Would recommend this product highly for your system.

Please include American plugs along with other since in India we have either Indian or American plugs not British
