"tube based power supply for Active Shielding"
Well thats a new one for me. I've seen the cables in Stereophile that use a bias voltage to supposedly cut down on noise, but one based on tubes?

$6000? For $6000 I will personally chauffeur you to a concert hall every week for one year

What is this?
More audiophool rubbish
That one doesn't even appear to have the plate cap active.
Good grief.
Umm, not that uncommon to use some high voltage gas thyratrons as rectifiers, and in that case the grid is used as the plate and the plate cap is left unconnected. A pair is usually used with FWCT... Not sure if this is what they are doing or not. FWIW this works quite well at a couple of hundred mA and a KV or two... Hope I am not giving anything away..
The first sentence of the article explains exactly what the thing is:
