"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.

Your mileage may vary but I can't really tell any difference. Initially I thought I heard a difference in the treble frequency which sounded a tad more prominent, additionally, I thought the bass sounded slightly strangled, I also drove myself insane. I decided to go for a walk and I then proceeded to do an A/B test with the old mains lead. Strangely, I couldn't tell any difference. I had wondered if I had been trying to validate my purchase so my brain "heard" things that weren't exactly there. I've absolutely no idea! Picture did look a tad more crisp, but this could also be a bit of a placebo. I like that my equipment is protected so I have no intention to return it.

Good value for money.
I bought this just after Christmas and not only did it arrive promptly, the actual product is much better than expected. It is a great product which really demonstrates excellent value for money. It makes the system sound clear and sharper.

has to be better than what I had before
I have been a bit busy recently and have not sat down properly to have a listen but it has to be better than the ordinary type of unit I was previously using so I cannot complain as it is another decent thing in my system not to have to worry about and it was not a lot of money either

Just buy one
Had this a week now and I have to say it has made a positive difference to the sound. My system is a mish-mash of components. I'm using a Nad amp with a Little Dot MK2 valve amp in between the pre and power sections. I have some Rothwell attenuators on the input to the power section which already improves the Signal to Noise ratio resulting in an already low noise floor, so I wasn't expecting much improvement with this mains conditioner. Despite this, there is a definite boost to the detail and presence of music. Not sure how it works, but I would definitely recommend this device to anyone wanting that bit extra from there system without needing to pay silly money to get it. Some reviews have said that it cuts out the top-end frequencies a bit, and that may be true on some systems, but this is not something I have noticed. Overall I'm really pleased I took the plunge and ordered one of these. As always, Richer Sounds service was exemplary. If you've got a spare £40 on you, I can't think of a better way to spend it on your Hi-Fi.

Works well
Bought a few weeks ago to replace a cheap extension cable. The equipment attached to the main seems to work a little better, smoother with added stability.
