Russ Andrews RCA/Phono MiniZap™
RCA MiniZaps™ are designed to be used on any component with unused RCA output sockets; such as an amplifier, streamer, DAC, Home Cinema amp or TV.
About MiniZap™ technology
MiniZaps use our Zapperator technology. Originally developed to address RF and EM interference in speaker cables, the tech was so successful that we decided to adapt it to combat the same issues with line-level and vinyl-level signals.
Designed by the highly respected audio designer Ben Duncan, MiniZaps use a unique Zobel-type network specifically for use in high-fidelity audio applications. Put simply, they work to convert RF and EM interference to heat, which is then dissipated.
This ‘burning-off’ of the RFI/EMI noise is extremely efficient and has a key advantage over many other types of filters which simply ‘bat-away’ interference on the assumption that it will not return elsewhere to cause problems.

"Akin To A Component Upgrade"
Fitted a couple of these to a £3k DAC, wow what a difference. Simply could not go back. The music is more fleshed out, clear and times superbly. They appear to remove noise which is you're not aware of until it's removed. I did not think they would improve an already very good DAC, but they did, well done to Russ and his team.

"A Noticeable Difference."
I bought a pair of the MiniZaps to try in my system, plugging them into the spare outputs of my CD player. They were left for two weeks to settle in, before I did a 'with and without' comparison. The difference was very noticeable: with the MiniZaps in place there was a much improved tightness in instrumental imaging, openness in the soundstage and lowering of the noise floor. Interestingly enough, those differences weren't really apparent when they were plugged into spare pre-amp outputs: but I guess the results will vary in different systems. They are certainly one of the best value-for-money 'accessory' additions I've made to my system.

"So Pleased!"
This is my third purchase of mini-Zappa:One one DAC
Two XLR on pre-amp
And now two phono on pre-amp
There is a “burn-in” period of up to two weeks - there have been two noticeable improvements: firstly the stereo image on TV sound and secondly the improvement in detail. The investment I has not been cheap but is really worth it.
Highly recommended!

"Exceptional Value For Money"
I have tried these in the digital out of my NDX2 and Oppo 203. In both cases the difference was immediate with better clarity on vocals, a naturalness to piano music and a more analogue presentation. Now looking to see where else I can add them to the system.

"Great Value Upgrade."
I have three of these plugged into the back of my Naim one box system. Two are connected with Russ Andrews RCA to BNC adapters. In my circumstances they gave a very noticeable cleaner and therefore clearer sound. Essential value for money upgrade to squeeze everything you can out of your system. Thanks RA.
