SOLD


Stereophile Recommended Component, Environmental Potentials EP 2450 in excellent condition and including original box and packaging.   Original owner, used very lightly since I purchased it directly from EP.  Environmental Potentials is unique in that it converts line noise into heat instead of shunting off to ground (where it continues to grunge up the system).   Please see reviews and specs below photos.

375.  MSRP is $750  USPS Money order or Paypal gift order preferred to avoid fees.  Standard Paypal welcome if buyer pays fee.   Buyer pays for actual shipping of choice.










Reviews

This lightweight, full-size chassis has eight unisolated AC outlets, which
can pass 20 amperes of HF-filtered, ground-filtered, surge-protected
AC. It also has a filtered and surge-protected coaxial line. It ain't
cheap, but dammit, it reduced amp noise to effective inaudibility!
With any of the three amps, I had to put my ear right on the tweeter
shield of a B&W 802D—and even then, I often wasn't certain I
heard anything. Whatever noise there was was below the noise floor of
the room, and quieter than I have ever heard...


Of course, knowing this, I subsequently found both systems sounded
cleaner and more detailed at low levels with the EP-2450... Kal

This one has beat them all for controlling AC grunge. While the newest of
several $4,000 list noise suppression units was recently sold, the
next newest was the unit replaced by the EP-2450, because it did not
work anywhere near as well at eradicating the junk coming in with the
electricity. Even with my 106dB/W/m sensitive horn speakers, at no
time with the unit in the system could I hear the normal background
noise that normally gets through to the speakers from the line.
Except for tube hiss, my room was as silent as a midnight listening
session. Even the very slight 60Hz. hum from my subwoofers was
eradicated.

Last night I decided to try it on the video side, again replacing another
$4,000 line conditioner with this unit feeding all of the video
equipment. The difference was again very impressive. Colors were more
vivid, and on off the air high definition Jay Leno, the image was the
best I've seen from my system. Resolution and three dimensionality
was significantly better than with the other unit, and this time
there was no other conditioner between the wall and equipment...this
unit does perform better than one listing for five times the price in
my system.  All three of my $4,000 twelve outlet line conditioners have been sold
off.
