I plan to buy a 2nd one and can see. Though IIRC that seemed like a sealed plastic box. Like you really couldn't open it nicely. Will see.
Edit. I sell solar and a competitor was installing whole home versions of this and claiming savings
Here is what our ee said about that:
If you have 3 phase, and AC motors they do work on correcting phase power factor. Most homes only have AC motors in air-conditioners. These devices do little on lights, TVs, computers, etc. on a single phase home. This also assumes the power factor is bad on the incoming electric 3 phase service, if the power factor is not off, you have wasted money. Need to test power factor, determine which devices it may help and then do the math.

The Satic Power cleaner should be of benefit for the Hafler HA75 switch-mode power supply, so I'm not surprised it does so well in your headphone amplifier set-up, Dawnrazor.

Keep in mind you don't have to prove what you hear, and why you hear it in Tweakers' Asylum. Thanks for sharing!

  yeah i thought it was odd they employ a switcher. I think that it must be a good one for them to use it. Anyhow the system is sounding amazing.

While a product like this is often intended for a device like an industrial motor, the inductive load of an audio system benefits from power factor correction. It's not so much about 'real power' and cost saving, it's about voltage and current being in phase. As a result, there is a less artificial sounding aspect of AC delivery, with a more natural sense of acoustics and overall smoothness to the presentation, IME.
