OK, Dave said we'd hear more in a day or 6 and that was at least 5 days ago, so hopefully soon.
Charles, thanks for the report. Can't wait to hear more.
Been busy securing all of the suppliers needed and finalizing the design. Sometimes the wheels run slow getting back to a small guy like me. Sigh...
Here are the specs:
Same old ugly black box to hide somewhere.
Same size as a MinBUSS or DigiBUSS - 7.125" x 5.375" x 3.875
12ga 18" pigtail terminated with a Furutech FI-11Cu Edison plug
Introductory price is $349.00 + $15.00 shipping in the continental USA
Of course there are options for NEMA Edison plugs from the Furutech range, but since this is designed for the branch circuit opposite from the system branch I'm not sure how advantageous putting a $406.00 FI FI-52M NCF plug will be. If that floats your goat I'll be happy to do so... just be advised.
The results are subtle in some systems, not so subtle in others. As always the 30 day 100% Money Back Guarantee is applicable.
I like it. There is just another bit of haze and glare gone after break-in. BI takes about 7-10 days. The effects are really noticeable after having it in circuit for about a week and then taking it out. When we are talking about ancillary noise reduction it kinds of creeps up on you.
Oh, yeah. Like Charles, our fridge is quieter and the TV is just sharper with blacker blacks. That is where noise manifests itself the most in video.
Taking orders now.
Ok so this is my 1st post here, I'm not into formal "introductions" on forums, so this will be it. I will say that I am a customer of Dave, and I was also the inspiration for Dave to create this new device, based on my observations and analysis, derived from numerous electric measurements, continual experimentation with different types of power filtering technologies, while also reminding myself that the KISS principle still in fact, does apply. Depth of the video image also starts to emerge as well, besides the better blacks you mention. You're seeing more depth because the space around objects, and actors in video is supposed to be just that--open, empty space, air, if you will--even small amounts of noise will 'just become part of the image' that you were accustomed to all along around what is supposed to be the video equivalent to what is actual transparency in audio terms.
Dave, great points you made in your post here. I addressed my refrigerator early on the more I learned about the various places noise originates from, and the fact that your entire house literally, really is one giant power strip, and asking a single conditioner to do everything is literally impossible for numerous reasons that you already know. One being that--one of the most important ways to get rid of noise, is to stop creating it in the 1st place (and this is where Dave's Digibuss applies in a huge way). In my case, my fridge was made quieter, smoother running with 2 things. One, I installed a 20A Surgex unit that has built-in current inrush limiting (which is great for dampening the internal surges that would be generated upon start-up throughout that entire electrical phase).
Now the fridge itself still backfeeds substantial noise into the powerline (and this isn't even a newer fridge, there is no SMPS powered electronics in it). So I shut that down pretty significantly by plugging a 12 Amp Oneac E-core type isolation transformer (model CB115H) after the Surgex and plugging the fridge into that. Now what was hundreds of mV of garbage circulating back into everything is mitigated to less than 25mV. The series inductor of the Surgex upstream of the transformer also contributing to some degree I am sure.
I'll have to say that Dave is the most selfless, passionate human being I've ever dealt with in this hobby in 25 years.
His Uberbuss is a real piece of equipment that takes no prisoners. I say that from a real-world, measurement standpoint, instead of just the usual reviews of sonic improvements that everyone already shares. The Uberbuss, according to my measurements, reduces broadband powerline noise approximately 4.5 times greater than a 2.4kva 0.0005pf Topaz isolation transformer (which I also use and am getting another) by itself. A transformer "good enough" for lab grade power for oscilloscopes, lasers, and so forth. This isn't my opinion because you can measure that for yourself with a basic EMI/RFI meter. I'd say that's an amazing achievement.
Hats off to you Dave; your contributions, honesty, effort, and humility, cannot be overstated.
P.S. Your crickets comment prompted me to post this. No crickets allowed =)
