Is Isobar still considered a decent product for RFI reduction or has it been eclipsed by some other manufacturer?  The Isobar website seems thin on specs for noise suppresion data.  Interested in spe

I can't comment about RF filtering, but it's an MOV box, which is BAD NEWS on a branch circuit. Also, none of the commercial line filters do anything to kill common mode current on the AC cable (whic

the one thing that many people forget is that it is not just the impedance, its the distance. The size of a typical shack, house, and grounding system, is NOT small with respect to the wavelengths in
