Hoping to get a demo of the grid and EMI next week. If I do, will report back. Nervous at the price..... !

I suggest reaching out to Gideon here at WBF via PM. His username here is audioartsCost? Can’t find in EU a website showing the price in euros. I’ve sent an email to sales dept of Schnerzinger, still waiting an answer.

Question is, does it matter? If you get a demo and hear a major difference, would you refuse to buy it because you dont understand it? This to me is the ASR mindset, and one I completely rejectStill hard to grasp what is does and how it works, or should be used, cleaning up power line noise via an antenna? Wireless ?
Nevermind, I found the manual.

The GRID PROTECTOR can also affect the HiFi system very effectively in other places in the house. Used e.g. in the kitchen or at the workplace in the same circuit of the
electrical devices there, it can also have a positive influence on the current phase and protective conductor interferences. This effect can extend into the HiFi room. Conclusion: just give it a try.
The procedure for setting the switches as described above is a recommendation and in most cases the most effective variant.
All variants of switch positions in all combinations are allowed, the device is not damaged when trying all possibilities.
If after a while you once want to hear the performance of your system without your GRID PROTECTOR, the buffering effect absolutely has to be considered. If the GRID PROTECTOR is switched off for a short time only, it still takes effect because of the buffering of the power supply unit.
Detach the power cable of the GRID PROTECTOR for the power grid (if connected also the 12V power supply). Remove the antenna, place the unit on the floor (best stored
on the side) and set the middle switch POWER to position 0. Keep these conditions for several hours, preferably overnight. This way you achieve that the GRID PROTECTOR has no effect any more.
Upon recommissioning the interfering fields will be cleared again fast.
To maintain its performance, the GRID PROTECTOR it should be connected to the grid with the 12V power supply once a year for approx. 15 minutes»
Here are the manuals @steve williams ...this is very interesting . I have all switches in the ll position on both the Grid and EMI protectors
Reports from the field, echoing my own observations, is that the II position addresses tube based systems more effectively whereas I position benefits ss components, but trial and error is key to really lock in. Schnerzinger addresses varied system and component combinations by allowing the end user to fine tune via the switches, but once the sweet spot is discovered, you’re done.Thank you for that. Talking to Gideon he recommended all in the ll position for my ALL tube system. It does seem best TBH. I also use the wall warts in both devices. So all set to ll and wall warts employed in both
RonAt least one very close friend of mine has been contacted about these products. Two very close friends who potentially are interested in the products have asked me to look into them.
I am very much looking forward to hearing an A/B demonstration of them at Steve's house on November 2. Until then it would be great if someone could answer these "yes" or "no" questions, which follow up on Marty's third question in Post #26* supra:
1) Does the device operate as a wideband RF receiver which detects EMI/RFI at one or more frequencies?
2) Does the device identify the EMI/RFI frequency of greatest perceived signal strength?
3) Does the device act upon the EMI/RFI frequency of greatest perceived signal strength by transmitting a countervailing or canceling signal at the same or at approximately the same frequency?
* I did not see that Marty's questions ever were answered.
Thank you. Then it cannot be a wideband RF transceiver.What I find very interesting is that from the manuals they function with or without the AC attached.
Always!Once again I will say the best A-B is in one’s own system.
