Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound?
My system sounds great. When it is on and not playing music it is dead silent. I tried a PowerPlant Regenerator and it didn’t improve my sound. Actually it slightly constricted my soundstage. Like most audiophiles I’m always searching for that next improvement and wonder if a power conditioner might add something to my SQ So before I start auditioning any power conditioners on a 30 day trial I’d like to know if anyone has experienced a significant improvement to their system, what that improvement was and which power conditioners they used. Right now I’m considering the Isoteck brand. Possibly the Aquarius or Electra. I’d most likely keep the amp plugged into the wall and connect my Streamer and DAC to the conditioner.
@jfrmusic Power conditioners (certainly the ones I have used) add to the sense of "air, atmosphere and openness out of the system". They should never take it out., that is horrible. Make sure you plug the amp directly into the wall... and the rest into the power conditioner. Shunyata and IsoTek are great brands. |
@ghdprentice good point. Some Power Conditioners contain dedicated ports for variable current devices - such as amps - this is an important feature to consider. |

I have tried the special port for amps, and separate power conditioners made just for amps... so they don't restrict the power. All have interfered with the amp. The amp would sound better plugged directly into the wall. I've had a couple dedicated ones in my home for demo... it was obvious within seconds. |
