Gaday Guys, Thought I'dd let you see my power conditioners before they hit ebay. Has any one heard from Myky I Did promise him the first one ?
I changed the original idea of 3 pin sockets on the power conditioner to 2 high quality shielded power leads with IEC plugs(C-079) .That way the only change is the 3 pin plug and 120volt 15 amp (rated at 1800watts)Thermal Circuit Breaker for you guys in the States and 240volt 10amp(rated at 2400watts) Thermal Breaker for us in Aussie land(can't see it in these photo's on other side of the black box).Can't give away any trade secrets Know but they do have some high quality filtering devices courtesy of your great nation.I don't want to boast but these ones definatley out perform my prototype probably because I've removed plug in connections with clean high quality silver solder connections.

Maverick,
Thanks for letting us have the first look. They look fantastic. If they filter as good as they look, you have a winner. The craftsmanship certainly shows in these great pictures.
I wish you all the success in the world. I hope the word spreads and your sales soar.

Thanks Joe, I have one more complete sitting in the wings(3 in total complete) and parts for half a fourth .Thought I'dd sell the first couple and see what happens before endeavouring into more money outlay.The parts/material alone broke into 4 figures so there not as cheap as I had anticipated but still a good price compared to there opposition . I've included 2 original IEC C-079 and a P-079 plugs on each 120volt version ,the plugs alone recommended price seperatley sold are over $100 each with out the power conditioner comming into the equation so it will be interesting to here yours and others feed back .I'll tag my ebay site when i put them on tomorrow.

Maverick- I can't remember exactly if you promised MMMike #0001 or not, but I warn you if he does get it after he's tried it out and likes it he's never going to stop telling everyone how great it is!
Considering that the MM-1 Line Conditioner uses an ultra high quality proprietary filtering system along with the hard wired power line in and 2 hardwired outputs each with high quality IEC connectors I certainly hope that you have an asking price that reflects the true worth of this fine piece of workmanship in that most of the Line Conditioners out there don't include all of the high quality external Power Cords and plugs that the MM-1 has!
As an example two of my Line Conditioners came without input or output Power Cords which cost up to $200 each to connect to the line current and the Audio equipment! An additional cost of $400 for Power Cords is a huge
consideration when buying a Line Conditioner.

maverick11359,
Have considered sending one of your power conditioners to Maxxwire to compare to the Panamax unit that he uses?
Toli
Gaday Toli, probably a good idea but at around $45.00 AUD to the States postage I was hoping to sell one to Myky and see what he thought .I am going to give a 21 day return policy from date of purchase incase it doesn't perform to the individuals likings so that's a way out for unhappy customers. If I don't hear from MyKy soon it might be a sound alternative to mail one to Maxx to test, unfortunatley as i have previously stated times are tough and i'm working on a shoe string budget(I havn't bought an sacd in 4 months).
cheers Maverick

Toli- Thanks for the thought, but for the last several years I have only been using the Panamax as a Surge Protector to supply line current the 3 individuated Programmable Line Conditioners that I use to run the Digital front end, Preamp and Power Amp in my Audio system.
I did try to upgrade the Panamax with a Transparent Ultra Powerbank, but it was unable to to improve upon what the 3 dedicated Line Conditioners were already doing to reduce RFI/EMI contamination any further.

Maverick- I would be honored to test the MM-1, but unfortunately I don't think that I could give it a fair test becase the only place in my Audio system that the MM-1 would plug n' play would be my Digital front end and it uses 3 single, double and tripple network filtered Power cords as well as a highly effective broadband RFI filter on each of the Digital Processor's power supplies.
To evaluate the MM-1 in this type of a situation would not give a full indication of what its fantastic proprietary RFI filtering can do all on its own.

Maxx,
I understand if you can't do it, but what you said above is exactly why I think that you'ld be the ideal person to test Mav's new line conditioner, with all your experience with line conditioners, especially the Panamax models. If you were to insert Mav's line conditioner into your system and get the same or similar results and you'ld be promoting Mav's new product. In my opinion, not many things could be as effective, especially among the Agoraquest faithful, than an endorsement from Maxxwire. maverick11359,
I was was looking to promote my new product, I can't imagine a better way to spend $45.00 AUS.

Just from the descriptions I've already heard of its performance I'm sure that Maverick's MM-1 far surpasses the little I've heard my Panamax do in the way of actually improving the sound quality of the Audio equipment that is hooked up to it.
To insert the MM-1 directly into my Audio system and test it directly it would have to have a minimum of 2 sets of 3 pin Duplex outlets like the Panamax or the Transparent has-
The current version of the MM-1 would simply not integrate well with my Audio system because I'm one of those people who already has aftermarket Power Cords that are just the right length and were custom chosen to work well with my Audio equipment, but a version of the MM-1 with two 3 pin Duplex outlets would work perfectly.
Most Line Conditioners that I have seen here in the States have 3 pin Duplex outlets. Maverick might reconsider his original idea of making a version of the MM-1 with 3 pin Duplex outlets to give it a wider compatability footprint.

Gaday Maxx and Toli, I can see were your comming from Maxx, Though I had to make a decison a while back as to simplicity for one design for both countrys I assumed IEC plugs were universal to most quality equipment so it would be simpler to leave out your 3 pin indigenous reciprocal from the equation and have only to change the intital 3 pin plug on the supply side here before shipped. I assumed it would be a matter of unplugging the player and Preamp or reciever from the existing power conditioners on the rear of the componet and plugging in my Mav's 3.1 P.C and then into a wall socket outlet(reciprocal). But I do understand where your comming from with your set up! anyway let me know what you think of my ebay page here it is http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&item=260039138034&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1
I spoke to my dad about marketing last week (ex Auidio retail manager , marketing manager and electronics engineer) and a well liked local entrepreneur 10 years my senior here in Coffs today (owns a few office buildings in my town)they gave me some sound advice about marketing and final costs.So the above costs were the end result we came up with as well as my policy warranty. Love to hear your thoughts but if critical please email me . Wouldn't be helpfull for sales otherwise.
Cheers maverick

WOW! Mav's 3.1 P.C. on eBay!
This is fantastic Rick! What a thrill to read your eBay offering for the first time knowing all that it took for you to get there!
As far as outlets go someone from the North America may come along someday wanting a 120v Mav's 3.1 P.C. with the 3 pin Duplex outlet that is so commonly used here by those who use high quality aftermarket power cords and I'm sure you will know how to deal with the demand when the time comes as I'm sure it will knowing how large a Membership Agoraquest has in North America and how many Members own fine Sony products which were made with captured power cords.
Congratulations Rick! I will do everything I can to promote your fine product after hearing how well Mav's 3'1 P.C. worked with everything from Sony to Moon to Krell Audio equipment.

Maverick,
Your eBay ad looks great, very professional looking. I can see that the same detail went into the eBay listing as the "Mav's 3.1" conditioner. Nice work.
