"About the most startling upgrade to your system £45 can make." 'What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision magazine'. 5-star review. Tested at £45.
MAINS CONDITIONING
Mains Conditioners help reduce Radio Frequency Interference and so help to enhance the sound and/or picture quality. The Tacima CS947 uses sophisticated filtering that uses high frequency capacitors and a single choke to suppress both symmetrical and asymmetrical mains interference. In addition to this, the mains cable is also thoroughly screened to help eliminate the effects of radiated noise interference.
SURGE PROTECTION
A potentially wallet-saving feature is the surge protection. With three-channel protection to 'absorb' mains surges and spikes, your equipment is protected from potential disaster.
GAS TUBE AND THERMAL PROTECTION
A new feature for the CS947 is gas tube protection. This adds further surge projection through the use of a Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) and helps the CS947 meet current regulations. Finally, thermal protection prevents the circuit from dangerous overheating, adding a further measure of safety to the product.
FILTER STATUS TEST
Another new function is the Filter Status Test button. Pressing the button illuminates a status light to indicate all is well with the conditioner filter. The light doesn't stay on as this can have a slight degrading effect on the mains quality.
For added protection and freedom from mains interference, the Tacima CS947 remains one of the most cost effective upgrades you can buy.

All I can say is that it made a difference.
Bought this after watching a you tube review, listened to it against my existing lead. It improved clarity, vocal and soundstage. I do not go in for Hi-fi tweaks for the sake of it, but for the money this takes some beating. So impressed, I am going to buy one for the TV set up.

Brilliant piece of kit
I think this is the the third one I buy, this time for my studio. Give it a little time to settle in and it will improve your hifi sound noticeably. The Tacima quiets down your system, improving dynamics and detail. Brilliant. Also improves the picture quality of your tv noticeably.

Works a treat
Long story short this product really works for me. I run two Class-D power amps rated at 1050wpc each. With one running all is fine, the music is nice and detailed. However if I run both at the same time the music becomes hard to follow with vocals being especially effected at low volume. For some reason this device brings back all the clarity when using both amps.
Oh and My Rotel A11 Tribute had transformer hum every 10-20 sec it was loud enough to hear from the sofa, that has now gone after being plugged into this device.
Conclusion: This product made a huge difference and was definitely worth the purchase.

A genuine game-changer if you record music at home
I can't say whether this device helps with the audio quality coming out of your hifi, but as a hobbyist musician with a basic home studio I felt I had to review it in case it proves helpful to someone else in my position. I get awful interference through my USB audio interface and powered monitors because my setup is basically a "how not do it" worst case scenario: loads of devices all plugged into one big extension, audio cables tangled up with power cables, ethernet powerline adapters, all in a Victorian flat with terrible outdated wiring. I've tried all sorts to eliminate the hum (ground loop?) and oscillating interference (the sort of 'whoosing' you get from having powerline adapters using the same mains as your speakers) which was ruining my recordings and making listening to them back really fatiguing, but nothing has worked until now. With the Tacima powering my monitors, USB interface, and PC, the hum and interference are not just reduced but appear to be gone entirely. If someone had said I could enjoy clean audio this easily I would have happily paid double; at £45 the Tacima is an absolute no-brainer for anyone making music in a rented flat where you can't make serious changes to the electrics, and I will probably buy several more.

Silence is golden
I wanted an extension cable to allow all my HiFi equipment to be plugged in together and after looking online found the Tacima had great reviews, so went with it. To now how good it is isn't easy to quantify, but with my equipment turned on and the volume at a good level there is nothing coming from my speakers. So I would say it does it's job, no buzz or hum. So when music is played, it's just music you hear. Also has surge protection, so everything is well protected.

Very Useful in today unstable climate power supply
A high power multi amp for Movies and audio Music concert is demanding on the power supply. The un-predictable nature of weather and power supply fluctuations cause havoc to the listening and watching enjoyment. It need not be esoteric power filter but a reliable power block extension that can deal with the supply fluctuations and weather or domestic caused interference of the power supply . This Tacima CS947 is made for Purpose.
