Polkies,

I was reading Hometheater magazine last night and stumble into this tweak:

http://www.fullswing.com/audioprism/quietlines.html

It looks interesting and supposedly work. Anybody tried this? I thought for $27.50 a pop, and if it works, it would be a cost effective investment. If anybody use it, do share your impressions. I am just curious...

EDIT: Cost was stated on HT mag as above.
I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    "QuietLines start working in the middle of the audio band, providing significant attenuation into the region of several hundred megahertz"

    I am guessing this thing doesn't work. Considering that several hundred MHz is several hundred MHz above the audible spectrum. Even if they meant kiloHertz I would assume they could be a little more accurate. And they would know that Mega and Hertz are both capitalized.

    "We are all constantly bathed in a "sea" of electrical noise"

    We are? I hadn't noticed I am always being bathed in the electrical noise sea they mention.

    If it is similar to a radio choke used in cars, you could probably make one. Personally I would never buy anything that MRSPs at 200 but sells for 30.

    Without some kind of proof that it works, hell, even some pictures, I call BS.
