You asked me to post details of the unit which I had seen.
To meet your request I did this, without an opinion or an
interest eith for or against.

Don't suppose you have


Since then I have been able to find out the sales figs for
the Scandi countries. I am told the highest sales within the EU
are to the UK. There is a "huge" mark-up. So someone is making
a pile of cash. From your bitterness, I deduce it is not you:-))


Me bitter?, nah!, wish I was as bent as some people who sell/ supply
these things but I can't bull**** like they do and prey on the gullible.

Do you think that the above statement "filtering the mains to make your
TV picture sharper" to would stand scrutiny with sensible double blind
testing, or even the trades descriptions act?..

Good point. In Finland and Sweden we have a "fitness of goods" act
which is much tighter than the trades descriptions act in the UK. Yet
these units are on sale here too.

Look at it this way Tony. If you are planning to market a product you
first need to find out what consumers (think they) need. If they come
beating a path to your door, asking for mega mains cables at E850
then what do you give them? Yes, you've got it....... It would be
churlish to refuse:-).

People seem to think they want mains filters, and the couple of
phone calls that I made this afternoon convinced me that the demand
is certainly there (particularly in the UK!!) so a smart manufacturer
gives the punters what they (think they) want.
