Ifi AUdio - New products

[panditji]

Just came across these new products from Ifi Audio.. Wanted to know if anyone has any experience with them and if yes, their feedback/review:

https://www.headphonezone.in/collections/ifi-audio/products/ifi-audio-gemini3-0 - A USB cable for Rs. 35,000

https://www.headphonezone.in/collections/ifi-audio/products/ifi-audio-ipower - Supposedly a super plug which comes with a power cable. Not sure if I can use it to connect my amplifier also or it only works with Laptops/DACs/CDP/Media players...

https://www.headphonezone.in/collections/ifi-audio/products/ifi-audio-ipurifier3 - Does it actually clean up the sound from a Laptop's USB port? Can I connect it to my DAC and the existing USB cable connects to the iPurifier?

They seem interesting products making tall claims although I am a little shocked at a USB cable retailing for 35k when Furutech top of the line ones are for 12k abroad.. Also the super plug for 5k claims to be 20 times more silent than audiophile linear power supplies ...

Look forward to some real world feedback...

I have both the iPhono ,and iPhono2 stages. Between the launches of these two products the iPower cable/plug was released, and it came as a default option with the iPhono2. The iPhono2 is a huge improvement over the iPhono1 (which is not chopped liver neither), but how much of it is contributed by the power plug is anybody’s guess. Both phono stages are totally quiet (with no record playing, and volume on amp turned up), so, as far as I’m concerned, I’m OK to go with the claims of the vendor without thinking too much about it.

Hi Panditji,
I have used many of their products:
Micro itube2, iPower2, iPurifier, nano iOne.
itube2 adds some tube characteristics but it is colored and nowhere matches a real tube sound, despite ifi's claims. Can enhance bass if needed.
iPower2 reduces the noise floor, but takes away a lot of dynamics. It's effect is similar to noise cancelling headphones.
iPurifier had no impact.
Nano iOne is a super product that combines a USB and Spdif DAC, galvanic isolation, usb to coax conversion and noise filtering all in one tiny unit that costs just 17k.
As for USB cable, I would recommend the better reviewed Curious Cable from Australia.
Best wishes

Thanks very much for your feedback sir... Really helped me and I am sure will help others as well in a similar dilemma.. I was just surprised at their latest USB cable costing 35k when a Phasure Lush2 with great reviews costs about 17-18k..

By the way I was not at all impressed with the lush 2 at it's default settings.
But I am not saying it won't sound good in other setup

But in the setup I heard it did not impressed me and sort of sounded flat in the mids
