Akiko Audio E-Tuning Gold mkII Improved version 2024
Our goal was to develop an AC enhancer with a clear operation that surpasses existing models from other brands.
Even a very good power cable and power distributor can be improved with our E-Tuning Gold mk II. The E-Tuning Gold provides a bit more warmth in the sound and is effective in reducing an overly pronounced high-frequency response and unrest in the soundstage.
The ‘ET’ mk II is filled with a mixture of minerals, piezoelectric, and paramagnetic materials and enriched with gold. The Improved 2024 version is equipped with an enhanced mineral mix. Additionally, the contents of the E-Tuning Gold mkII are stabilized with black resin, a material that effectively suppresses microphony effects, which is a crucial requirement for a quiet and pleasant music rendering.
The operation of our products has been demonstrated through measurement techniques. Suppressing high-frequency interference leads to a music reproduction experience that is perceived as more pleasant in the audio spectrum.
Applications:
- Attach to the power cable of your amplifier, CD player, or streamer.
- Attach to the main power cable of your audio system, for example, at your (wall) socket strip or to the power cable of your socket strip or power conditioner.
- Attach in the meter cupboard, near, or to the power cable that supplies power to your audio system.
- Place the E-Tuning Gold mkII on equipment with a built-in power supply, such as an amplifier, DAC, CD player, or streamer.
- Place the E-Tuning Gold on an external power supply.
- Place on or as close as possible to a modem, switch, or router. This equipment causes a lot of interference and is very sensitive. You will be amazed at how the flow of the data signal can be improved by the E-Tuning Gold mkII.
- The weight is over 475 grams each.
- Length 150 mm
- Diameter 50 mm
The new E-Tuning Gold mk II has received a modern look of glossy black anodized aluminum and is finished with chrome-plated end caps. Each E-Tuning Gold comes with two velcro wraps.
What can you expect? A more natural reproduction of instruments, less sharpness in voices, and an increase in spaciousness. Less background noise and more tranquility and warmth….

“The Akiko tuning sticks reduced the fatigue factor to such a degree that the listening session with my audiophile buddies lasted until the wee hours of the morning, at which time I had to literally kick them out.”
What exactly the workings of these sticks are is unclear. They seem to be related to the Shakti Stones and Acoustic Revive RCG-24 grounding enhancer. The only difference between those and the sticks is that the sticks don’t introduce subtle enhancements. They cause a vast enhancement. Our hard-earned cynicism in matters of loudly advertised but quietly under-delivering tweaks had to pack it up until next time. We were very glad to have accepted this assignment!
Even if your gear already benefits from very high-grade racks, platforms, cones, power conditioners, and power distribution boxes, you should still hear a significant improvement by adding Akiko sticks. On the other hand, if you have little to no tweaks to control the noise in the signal, airborne, and structural resonance that adversely effect the performance of your gear, I cannot think of a more cost effective way to treat these pollutants than with Akiko sticks.
