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,

  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.
