DC Blocker available to try in your system

Unread post by savvypaul »

We have a spare DC blocker here. I believe it's the same one that CN uses in his system.

Some report it to be an improvement, others report that it drains the life from the music.

If you've got DC on your mains and you want to find out, either way, you can try this one for free - just pay the postage.

PM to arrange.

My system had improved quite a bit since I bought the DC blocker. I thought I would give it a try without it and there seemed to be a slight improvement, nothing dramatic. I have left it disconnected as the resulting buzzing from the BMU is very intermittent and not intrusive. It is worth giving a go as it seems to be mains and system dependent.

May I suggest that the reason DC blockers don't always "work" and sometimes removing one is an improvement is that DC really isn't supposed to be on the mains. If it is found by the distribution company they should correct it. So, if you had DC and it is corrected removing a DC blocker might result in an improvement. If you fit one and there isn't any DC it might degrade the mains. The biggest problem will be to confirm that you have DC on your mains.
