    I posted a link above which describes things. I would think it’s best where you can’t put a proper power conditioner or when you plug your amps directly into the wall.

    Re: Furutech NCF Clear Line

    I am interested as well. I have a Niagara 5000 for my front end but may be interested in a product like this for my amp on its own dedicated circuit.

    I assume this is a parallel type filter as nothing plugs directly into it? If it is it also filters the other plug on the duplex.

    From what I read in some reviews people are plugging this into their power conditioners , which makes we wonder why. What do the instructions say on the package .

    Re: Furutech NCF Clear Line

    Assuming since we haven't heard much feedback on these that the trials did not bear any fruit. Anyone want to share their experience? I am considering this or the Shunyata Venom Defender for the dedicated circuit that feeds my Pass X350.8 and would love to hear from those that have tried either the Furutech or the Shunyata.

    Re: Furutech NCF Clear Line

    Well I tried it , thank you Mike. I moved this all around the system, at the wall, at the power strip and I couldn't hear any difference in the sound. Maybe its due to my direct dual 20 amps feeds to my sub panel. It did however clean up my TV older Panny Plasma on another feed in a another room. I really don't know.

    Re: Furutech NCF Clear Line

    I have tried one and could not tell any difference in audio. But it did seem to help video marginally. I sent it back though.

    Re: Furutech NCF Clear Line

    I have many of these. They do have an effect. They are quite similar to the Ansuz Sparkz (the std version, not TC). I find them especially to tighten up the bass. Also quite positive effect on video, more vivid picture with better colors and sharpness.
