"well built, high quality, just the right features"
really rugged. These are practically unbreakable. I like them better than the other varieties made with sheet metal exteriors. The elements inside are supposedly very high quality as well.

"Great item for reducing hum!!!"
Feature:
I like the connection options and ground lift switch.

Quality:
The one I use at our church has been hooked and unhooked many times and has held up well.

Value:
Very good for what it does. If you've got hum, this is what will elimate it. Works good for connecting hi-z equipment to your mixer or from your hi-z mixer output to a low-z amp input.

Desirability:
I plan to get three or four for my own p.a. set up which I use in my sound buisness.

Sound:
This product does not effect the sound, but eliminates the hum caused by mis matched impedence connections.

Ease of Use:
Simple to use. Do your connections and get going. I connected a keyboard (hi-Z) to the mixer lo-Z input and had some hum. I picked up one of these and the hum disappeared with clean sound.

Support:
never had to use any support.

Overall:
The one our church uses has held up for several years now.
