Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner

Has anyone tried this unit from the Cable Company ?

I have , I plugged it into my Shunyata Hydra 8 on a dedicated circuit.

It takes about an 1/2 hour (and continues to improve) to see the effects on Video but the colors are deeper and the picture quality is much improved. High def is really great!

On Audio, I have my APL and Pass Labs Amp on other dedicated circuits , but even so, the Audio definition improved quite a bit.I couldnt believe it.

I dont know what it is doing but it only cost $179.

I am going to order another one to be used with just my Audio.

The sound became way more detailed and added a lot of air but not sure whether it has also turned my system a bit sharp.

Is it possible you somehow have a jitter problem? You may need to investigate. High powered gaming PC's with switched power supplies are often a culprit. Computer power supplies are notorious - they are some of the cheapest crap found on the planet...and of course computer chips vary their loads all the time.

don't think computers are the culprit here since before the installation of noise destroyers, the sound of my system was actually darker. Right now, it sounds a lot more energetic like it has been given a vitamin drink.

What you are describing, however, is exactly the way jitter would sound to me. Less energy or levity or articulation to the music and a darker sound with lower midrange emphasis and a slight heaviness rather than punchiness in the bass. More energy or dynamics "like a vitamin drink" is just the way a really clean sounding system should sound.

Incidentally have you tried Sheffield Labs drum track on XRCD - if you have not then I suggest to give it a whirl - you may be surprised - it is one of teh most dynamic recordings I know of.
