I think he died. I imagine his wife might have sold some stuff perhaps. These two items were still there after the house clearers had emptied the place. I suspect the power point this was next to (and had the silencer plugged into) will be on an isolated spur - there are at least three (from...

I did read a little about BMUs on getting some of the responses here, and if it's one of those, it may explain why he cut the plug off, when presumably he stopped using it; just in case.

Ah yes, that looks strikingly similar, thanks.

Funny you should say that, one of these was plugged into the socket next to it: https://www.russandrews.com/the-silencer/

Hmm, sounds like there might be an opportunity to market our box as a 'quantum' mains purifier, with technology so secret it's been encased in unobtainium ;) £15,000 anyone?

Those do look interesting, though you seem to have to take them on faith as they won't say much about what's inside due to not being able to get patents. This box doesn't have any grounding connections, so I don't think it can be that.

I have no plans on using it, but my curiosity was piqued upon opening it up ;) With the whole thing being set in some solid block, it's impossible to discern anything about its safety.

Thank you - that's interesting, I didn't know that a DC component of the mains might be a problem and I must admit I my I did wonder why noise wouldn't be inducted. I'm learning :)

Thanks. That was one of my suspicions, but not being a hi-fi expert I wasn't sure if my thoughts were rubbish. So the objective would be to remove noise from the mains input. I'll take my multi-meter round next time I'm there :)

Haha, well that sounds worth trying out - what could possibly go wrong ;)

Can anyone solve the mystery of what this box is? It was in my daughter's new house. Apparently the previous occupant was seriously into his hi-fi. When I took it off the shelf it was positioned on (already disconnected by having the wire cut), I was surprised to find it weighed a ton. I opened...
