Update: Tried the outstanding Oyaide AC outlets and it fixed the problem, BIG time to my shocked surprise. I'm not swapping these out for anything. I got the GX and XXX models and settled on the GX (gold over gold) for my EMM's stack. Things are crazy good now! The only problem I have now is trying to get some sleep. I may still look into conditioners as I like what they do with dimensionality and staging. AC is a funny thing and I think much underemphasized component of the reproduction chain. Amazing.
Nordost Thor &State of the ART: Power conditioners
Looking for an outstanding conditioner that can help reduce some glare and sibilance/white noise on the highs in my system. Cymbals especially. Any ideas? Is the Thor as HP alluded to recently a new line in the sand when compared to extant world class balanced conditioners like the BPT, Isoclean, Audience, etc? I want to maintain the outstanding dynamics, transparency and detail of the direct wall connection but minimize the above hazards if possible. Am I asking too much?
