Nobody has any experience with any of those cables.

  Thank you, unclestu,
  
  But these are all devices used in tandem with one AC Outlet or Line Conditioners to clean up the sound as shown here:

    PS Audio made something similar (noise sniffer, a plug which flashed to dissipate rfi filtered out). So did Audio Prism, so did Quantum, and all were significantly cheaper. IIRC even Walker Audio made something similar.
    Most employed a simple capacitor/ resister network across hot and neutral.
    If you want to DIY look up the Magnan audio website (which has been s[discussed on this forum before).

      unclestu,
      
      Now this is very helpful, as I had only been aware of something from PS Audio called the Noise Harvest and the one from Audio Prism, and never knew anything about the others you've mentioned - I'll certainly do the research into said other options that are as you've said are cheaper.
      
      Thanks a million,
      O_o scar

        I do not have the Shunyata or Qk1, but I do have the Qv2 and PS Audio noise harvestors.
        
        I only have a single Qv2, and it worked to a great effect in every application, coupled in the amp receptacle, or the DAc or the TV e.t.c
        
        But the Noise Harvestors either has a neutral or negative effect. I don't like them at all. All this testing was done with my entire system wired into a PS Audio Dectet power conditioner (which is a very good product).
        
        So unfortunately, considering the price of the Qv2, this is one case of you get what you pay for.
