OK, AC gets converted to DC in all Stereos, TV's.........even microwaves......so.......so what if AC is "spiky"? It all comes out in the capacitors, SMPS's etc. I wouldn't buy it, nor would I purchase their high-priced cables, or their "conductive juice in a bottle" stuff. Audiophiles suck this stuff up, and I know 1 or 2 in a group of 3000 to 5000 regular customers, so it ain't worth it.
