I have two, and never felt they made anything sound better than plugged into wall...though they hurt the sound less than some other power strips...  
I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them.....
When TMR buys an item outright and pays you when they receive and inspect, they can then sell for whatever they want...somewhat different when they take on consignment and seller gets percentage of actual sales price...the salesmen I've dealt with... 
Aging ears and Nuances
I feel I can still appreciate the nuances and I remain "picky" though very happy with my system(s)...though my sonic and musical preferences has changed somewhat...

I also have the Gato FM6, which at it's very low used price is an incredible value....used to own Salk SongTowers and Monitors which were excellent and a great value new or used...  
They should charge more for it…
WB has been around 36 years, so they must know something about pricing...I imagine they don't plan on selling too many of these, but there are many wealthy people for whom this isn't a major purchase...and there is lots of great low and mid cost g... 
Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile?
mapman +1. I generally have little interest in the systems of others. Though I do try to state when commenting on a specific component if I own or have owned it ... I guess I'm more interested in how familiar a responder is with the component they...
