These three I have made for a customer who only concern about safety first follow by performance, and a lot of other things plus then more. Cosmetic is way down at the bottom of the list. After this many inquiry in just a few days. I have decide if anyone of you want to get one of this filter in silly cone, you can e-mail us.

Just took delivery of a 6X Silicone filter a few days ago. The 6X filter was heavier than I expected it to be.I plugged it into the bottom receptacle of the outlet feeding my 6 outlet FX2 PLC (It replaced a BC86MKIII). There was an immediate improvement in the quality of my video display. Most notably was the almost complete disappearance of video noise in the background of gray and dark scenes.

On the audio side, bass was tighter and faster and there was a massive improvement in the dimensionality of the soundstage. Soundstage is the wrong word actually, because its like we are in the movie or music.

The combination of the 6X filter and my FX2 is a beast. Also, due to it's cosmetic limitations, the price performance ratio is great. Thank you Gilbert.

I own a wonderful BC 6000 line filter. I thought that line filtration could no get any better. I was wrong. I have added the 6X Filter to the receptacle that the BC 6000 is plugged into and the results are simply outstanding. Highs are more extended; bass has greater depth and push; the mid-range is both cleaner and more invitational and the sound stage is wider, higher and deeper. The benefits to my system belie the price of 290 dollars.
All hail to the G man!!! All of you BC 6000 owners out there order yours today.

Hi Totemman
Talking about bc6000,i remember Gilbert telling me that plugging a 6000 into a plcfx2 was a pretty good thing to do.
I wonder how it¨technicaly¨compare to your 6x set up

Is this silly cone filter something taht works like a BC86? I mean: is it something, in the way it works, different than a BC606?

I used to use both products above, but with BC606, besides its good effects, I felt the sound was not as fast as without it. The BC86 didn´t bring this not so good effect.

Hi Jo,
The 6X works in the same way that the BC 86 does but it is at least 6X better. However, I must admit to being very surprised that the BC 606 had a negative effect on your system. Do yo have a different amperage or voltage in wonderful Brazil? Brazil.... Embarassed

Just had a picture of carnival in my head.

Hi, Totemman,

Voltage here is usually at 122 or 123v. I don't know about amperage.

Anyway, BC606 didn't produce a negative effect in my system, as I kept connecting DAC, DVD player, computer, external HD on it as it was quite beneficial. The only one which I plugged direct in the wall out let was NSCS. It was not something dramatic but I preferred some more speed, giving up some clean.

To tell the truth, it was not a surprise for me. In fact, I already thought that BC606+NSCS(or other amp) could present this aspect I'm talking about in their presentation. I interpret, considering the information available here and at BC's site, that this is one of the reasons why BC6000, completely appropriated for amps, uses a different technology.

This was just my impression with BC606 so you and the other guys, including Gilbert, please fell free to tell me if it really seems a big mistake what I'm saying about its performance in my system/room.

About carnival, which ended yesterday, have you heard about the impressing walking soundstage invented here in Bahia called "Trio Eletrico"?

Here you can take a look on a video of carnival of 25 or more years ago; playing is a group that is one of the most popular here. They used to play beautiful, fun carnival music but they're terrible today.

And this one is much newer, 2 or 3 years ago. Daniela Mercury, she's very good. As you can see, way more people than 25 years ago:

I didn't find a good one of Armandinho or Pepeu Gomes and their guitars.

Ah, I must say that Bahia, especially Salvador, where I live, is a unique place, in all respects. Carnival, or whatever, in Salvador, is different than what you find in other parts of the country. Not worse or better, but different. Interesting place..
