BPT 3.5, Audience aR12, or Equitech 1.5Q?

Thanks for the input.

OK, maybe not *completely* ignored. I've installed a Porter Port outlet (big gains) and 2 Blue Circle BC 86 MKIII filters (less so). I'm hoping a more sophisticated conditioner will provide huge improvements given the cost. I've just felt that with that kind of money I would be better off with speaker or electronic upgrades but now I think the level of AC componentry is lagging considerably.

At this point I think it's a toss up between the 3 and I'll take whatever deal comes through first on the used market. Still, I'd like to know of a compelling reason to pick one over the others before I bite, if anybody has one.

Bigshutterbug, that's a good point. The Audience units come with a powerChord e, which is my cord of choice and used elsewhere in my system. It would be great to hear from somebody who has used an aR6 or aR12 and one of the balanced power units.

Raks, I'm not seeing the info on the newer grounding system for the regular models, but I have read elsewhere of the changes with the T and TS models. Is that what you were referring to?

Just want to mention that I ended up with an Audience aR2p-TO. WOW it's like magic! Totally brought everything to life!

I will also add that the differences when I added a dedicated 20A lines were marginal. In terms of significance for me: aR2p-TO line conditioner >> Porter Port outlets >> dedicated lines. I know I am in the minority here. Perhaps my existing shared line wasn't so "dirty" to begin with.

I just swapped out the outlet in my bedroom system for the Porter Port and again it has made a huge improvement in clarity/transparency, definition, imaging, and extension.
