Though these devices are marketed as such for hi-fi use, in fact there really is no "affordable" universal solution to AC power correction from an electrical standpoint, especially not for hi-fi, where amplifier topology might be just about anything, and these amps might be running right along with sensitive low-level devices that have basically "opposite" needs. While this does not excuse APS' shoddy operation or - apparently - ongoing lack of insight into the matter, it should serve as yet another reminder to GSC readers that "plug and play" really means "roll the dice", product price or mfg. promises notwithstanding. Of course this does not mean no one will ever find a solution to his own, particular problem. Rather, it means that each of us is - ultimately - looking for a unique solution, and it remains likely that we may have to do some futzing with any given piece of equipment that we attempt to integrate into a system. Again, Romy's case is the best example here of this idea, albeit he appears to have caught APS "at a good time". Anyone who just bought one and sent it back without clearly targeted objectives, there were no clearly targeted fixes.
