@bigshutterbug @sns Well that’s discouraging but I appreciate your input. I’m surprised because I spent time building a respectable car stereo and always considered the fact that it got its power from the car battery an asset. Additionally, the review that I mentioned stated that there was no audible difference between the Goal Zero and the $30,000.00 Stromtank but maybe the Stromtank has the same effect that you’re mentioning. The other thing however is that I don’t hear any reason to invest in a better power conditioner than how I’ve tuned my stereo as it is. I was playing a Rubenstein Chopin Mazurkas remaster on RCA for a pianist friend and we were both floored at how good it sounded. Maybe I should just focus on buying more music. Thanks again for sharing.
Goal Zero Yeti 500
Hey Goner’s,
I’ve finally decided to stop buying anything else until I purchase a Goal Zero Yeti for my ESL’s and my front end components. There was an audiophile article written in around 2018 about how effective this generator is. Fortunately my ASR power amp runs on two power supplies and a battery so all that I’ll be plugging in will be my Ayre QB9 Twenty, Bryston BDP 3, Two Quad 2905’s, ASR Mini Basis and Thorens TD160. There are only two receptacles in this unit so I’ll either use a general heavy duty power strip or a passive PS Audio Line Conditioner. I still plan on using the Akiko Audio products that I purchased over the years. The Yeti advertises that it is a sine wave perfect device and it sure makes more sense to me to buy one of these generators for $500.00 than spend crazy money on an expensive line conditioner. Has anyone tried one of these sine wave battery powered generators? Does anyone have insight about using this product? Thanks!

@drack1 So the battery powers the sine wave inverter, straight forward enough. You spent some money putting those components together. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the link. |
