Audience Adept Mod

Which model you have Walnut?

Contrary to their upgrade pricing for cables, the Audience upgrade prices for power conditioners is not practical at all. At those prices one can simply buy an used one of the more recent models.

I absolutely recommend the TS and TSS models.

If you are going from the non Teflon to the current TSS model, you'll have a jaw dropping experience. Congrats with the upgrade!

Dentdog: I have tested many power conditioners (active and passive ones) in my systems and the Audience power conditioners does not limit the dynamics of power amps, YMMV.

/Bacardi: if you still like the HiDiamond power cords (I also have the P4 as you may know), you will absolutely love the AR6-TSS. I presume you bought it used (recently on the Gon?) so no burn in needed.

/Bacardi, if you bought the TS or TSS (new) version, you really need a great power cord. Although the P3 is pretty good and great for its price, the TS or TSS deserves a better one. I suggest either the AU24SE or the NordOst Valhalla 2m (the 1m is not as good as the 2m version) to add speed and resolution to your system which are pretty much HD based. IME, they are excellent but tend to be on the polite side which makes it very palatable to listen to, maybe you could use a bit of sparkle.

Bacardi, the beauty of AR power conditioner is their different outlets (as you may know, each have different value of capacitance, the largest closest to the power in /Neutrik cord) so select one and keep them in as these teflon caps with improved copper leads take at least 300h to burn in. My best experience is put the TV in the middle sockets row. For such an investment, good (and stable due to the power cords tension on the unit) isolation is imperative. I am using a maple block onto a Symposium shelf sits and between it and the conditioner Symposium Rollerblocks (the Jr version is too unstable); Stillpoint Ultra SS is better but you have to be very careful each time you pull a plug.

Bacardi: what power cords are you using on your upstream devices? Which ones works best on amps with the aR6-TSS?
