Thank you for this thread, Rob. The Kraftwerk is a fantastic product which wasn't available for US power until recently. We've got a number of guys out there using them who I hope can chime in, but in the meantime here is a bit of discussion on it from Lukasz from it's debut (and the early teaser of the Poseidon). Discussion begins at 21:30

I added the KraftWerks10 about 2 months ago. I have a EquiTech 2Q to wall and KW10 to that with everything else from KW10.
For myself some of the reason was voltage protection from the severe storms we regularily have here.
There certainly is no detriment to SQ but also no 'very noticible' improvement either. I think the quality of Mains is a determinant to the amount of improvement you'll get from this. I would not change my decision to have it in my system.

I am planning to get a demo unit to test. I have been disappointed by most filtering options regarding power distribution. Usually the sound is 'too clean' or 'too bright'. I am also very interested in the Gryphon powerzone 3.20, but I am not able to test it. I'd need to order it 'blind'.

I have most likely one of the first production units made few years ago - or maybe it was last year - can't really remember and I totally concur with @dbeau view - I don't hear any positives neither negatives to be honest. Hence if it does a proper job in protecting the gear I'm more then fine with the money spend.

So it has no sonic signature when you plug it in? It's like plugging the gear to the wall? I find that quite strange, especially regarding a filtered power distributor.

If you want thoroughly protect your gear without audio quality penalty I recommend
Richard Gray's devices. They have reputation of highest reliabilty as well and that
I cannot say about Lampizator(from personal experience...).
