"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.

Worth Every Penny
First a comment on delivery. I ordered it on the Friday, it arrived on Saturday! Excellent service!
I already had a filtered 4-socket block but it still didn't cut out some of the mains noise so, after reading a review of the Tacima CS947 in What Hifi? I decided to buy one.
Worth noting are the two key-hole slots on the back so that it can be firmly located on two screws at 21 cm centres. Once installed I plugged everything in (the 6 sockets removing the need for two-way adapters) to listen. First impressions are a more focussed stereo image and greater clarity in the upper mid-range. Drums sounds, particularly the sound of cymbals and rim-shots are cleaner. All in all, worth every penny.

worth their weight...
I bought two of these a few weeks ago,one for the spare room with my pc in and one for my living room for my tv and bluray player,I noticed a picture quality difference on my 4k tv straight away,its a more stable picture leading to it being sharper,the same effect was had on my pc where the picture improved.
The extensions are smart and well made and worth their money,im glad a bought them.

Enhanced sound quality
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and wasn’t expecting it to make much of a difference. I have a surround sound amp and 5.1 speaker set up. I was pleasantly surprised as the sound clarity definitely improved. The bass is smother and more rounded and there is small but noticeable difference in the sound detail

Worth every penny!
I’ve been having a few issues with humming through my set up. I bought a couple of these and while it hasn’t been removed entirely, it is a lot more quiet. An added benefit is my TV’s picture looks clearer too. It’s removed a bit of fuzz from the image so it looks sharper.
One downside is my sound system sounded a bit muddy once I used these, but after a quick recalibration, it was sorted and back to it’s usual self. If anything, it tightened the bass somewhat too.
I was a bit dubious at first before I purchased them but I’d recommend them to anyone now.
Richer Sounds was fantastic as usual. They’re the only retailer I’ll ever trust when it comes to my home cinema purchases.

Excellent smart looking piece of equipment
I bought this last month mainly because I wanted to be sure that my new HI fi equipment was protected against any power surges. Looks great and was quite expensive but felt it was not worth risking expensive equipment with sub standard protection.

Not sure if extra bells and whistles worth it
I needed a surge protection cable lead, and this also promised to make speakers work better. Not sure if I've noticed a big difference, but wasn't expecting much.

Good value investment to clean up your sound
I had the older model of this which made a decent noticeable difference to sound quality. This version has a slightly nicer design.
