The difference with the SOUND APPLICATION XE-12S in the system is clearly one of the greatest improvements I have ever heard.

HEAR the CF-X in the Reference Listening Suite at CBS Studio Center !

I run the Reference Listening Suite at CBS Studio Center. SOUND APPLICATION placed five of their amazing CF-X line conditioners in my playback suite, WOW !! I have never heard any other AC product do what this does.

Simply put, It is the best there is!

The SOUND APPLICATION CF-X will max out every virtue your equipment is capable of.

Make no mistake about it, the SOUND APPLICATION CF-X is the most effective line filter money can buy.


Alan Yun
Silverline Audio

The SOUND APPLICATION CF-X is my secret weapon.


Albert von Schweikert

The SOUND APPLICATION CF-X provides amazing harmonic purity, transparency and total background silence.

It works!


Dick Olsher
The Absolute Sound

AC line conditioning is far more critical to audio quality than speaker cables and interconnects. Given an accessory budget of $5000., I would spend it in a heartbeat on the SOUND APPLICATION CF-X conditioner and simply make do with my old cable.

Review by Jeff Parks

“The Sound Application Reference LineStage has been the biggest audio upgrade that I have heard in my system to date. Nothing, and I mean nothing—no speakers, no amplifiers, no preamplifiers, no CD players, no turntables, no cartridges—have made as much difference in my system as the Reference LineStage. I am now hearing my Audio Research gear for the first time, and I understand why so many high-end audio manufacturers, audio reviewers, and recording studios, including MoFi and Rick Rubin’s American Recording, use Jim Weil’s products. They are simply THE BEST. Knowing this in hindsight, if I ever put together another audio or home theater system, I will start with the line conditioner before purchasing any other gear, and that line conditioner will be the Sound Application Reference LineStage. The difference that this product made in my system was unbelievable, so I purchased the review sample. That is the highest recommendation I can make.” read review

The XE-12 provides the greatest EMI and RFI filtration across the broadest frequency band, operating from audio frequencies to beyond 2.5 GigaHertz. Powerful 11-Stage Spike and Surge Protection. read review

Review by Jeff Fritz

“If your primary goal is the reduction of the noise caused by RFI and EMI, I heartily recommend the Sound Application CF-X… If you are worried about any frequency-response anomalies, the CF-X showed none. Best of all, the CF-X did its job without a single problem, either mechanically or sonically.”
