I have a number of Akiko products. They all do what it says on the tin very well
The best plug in filter ever!
Puron AC Power Conditioner by Greg Voth
After reading rave review of Puron AC plug in filter, I had got one 10 days ago.
For your information my system is very complicated with bi amping and three Farad linear supplies.
Thus I have 14 power cables, one main power conditioners, three isolation transformers.
I had tried plug in fliters from quiet lines, quartet stecker, IFI, furutech, Nordost Qv2 and QX2 fliters.
I still have all of them in my system without selling any of them.
I am collector. 😁
All of them had brought slight improvement but not drastic change.
But as soon as I inserted Puron Ac filter, it made background black with more details and clear bass.
The stereotimes review is spot on.
Encouraged by the result, I had ordered two more of them so that I can insert more of them close to amps and Dac.
Now my system got transformed with more vivid and clear sound stage but not overetched.
This is the best 750$ that I had spent during last 5 years in my audio system.

@antigrunge2 I believe there’s something to say about the fact that Akiko has been able to stay in business for such a long time. Not sure if that’s due to the cost and effectiveness of their products or if it says more about their savvy business practices but they were one of the first, if not the first to make these ac plugs. And I’ve found that by being anal about where I place the tuning sticks, that I’ve been able to finely tune the sound. I don’t doubt that other more recent products might perform better but the Akiko Sticks have worked for me. I may at this point however be more willing to try the Less Loss products. But has anyone tried the AC Triple Evolution? |
I have a Puron on the way. I have the Furutech device and never felt it did much in my system however. After watching the filter shootout video I was wondering if anyone has tried or would be willing to try plugging the Puron into an extension cord that could reach your listening position. Hoping this would emulate doing an AB comparison without relying on someone to help. From what I have read from Puron owners on this thread is the unit would only herd when pulled as seems its effects come on over time. Any thoughts or volunteers for this experiment? |
@antigrunge2 I have also and they work well. I have an NFC plug in and it is nowhere near the LessLoss Firewall 640X.
