I'm not an expert at this overpriced stuff either, but would agree with
Damon.
I have seen no difference in using regular Audio/Video patch cords
($3.95) over their Gold Plated patch cords for ($21.95)
Basic Electronics tell me that most solid state components do not work
well with raw A/C. So if you want to buy (or sell) Line Conditioners at
1K per pop, may consider investing that money and open a BMW Car
Dealership.

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.
