TCI Baby Constrictor 08 Power Block

Like an urban myth for the audio and videophile generation, people speak in hushed whispers of 'dirty' mains supplies and contaminated current riddled with electronic noise that can affect hi-fi and video performance on even the best, and priciest, home AV kit.

The TCI Baby Constrictor 08 power block is an update of the previous model, bumped from a four-way to a six-way 13a block with a one-metre cable.

Arguably the simplest way to upgrade your system, it filters incoming impurities and noise and reduces outgoing radiated noise, promising to deliver on the audio front more detail, a bigger soundstage, better dynamics and deeper bass. The quieter noise floor also means improved low-level detail and micro dynamics, apparently.

Video is equally buffed with a cleaner, quieter (as in less image noise like digital block and artefacts) picture.

Capable of 40 amps and 500 volts RMS, the TCI also benefits from eight PTFE insulated silver-plated copper conductors and braided cable for RF injection and filtering.

The Baby Constrictor comes in a run of standard lengths ranging from £100 for the 1.5m cable to £160 for the 3m cable and is available now.
