Audiolabrynth, I purchased the beryllium power outlet from JJ acoustic before I did any research online. After a month of reading reviews and talking to other audiophiles I ended up purchasing the Maestro outlets. I was not able to find a single review or article at all about the JJ outlet. from what I understand they are in Australia. I emailed them and asked them to provide me with any information on their outlet and they never emailed me back. They shipped it to me without a box or any literature at all. I have not installed it yet so I cant attest to the sound. It seems to be made of brass all the way around. I could be wrong but they dont seem to be interested in proving to me that its not. I would love to hear how your system sounds once it is installed.
PC for Electrocompaniet-Focal-Wadia combo
Hi everyone,
I've finally managed to put together the hifi components I desire and arrived at the next step towards audio nirvana: power-cords and conditioners. However, I'm quite clueless as to where or which brands to start with (other than what i read in hifi magazines) so I would really appreciate your inputs, especially for my setup. I'm running a fully balanced setup. My system is as below:
-Electrocompaniet EC 4.7 Pre
-Electrocompaniet AW180 Mono Power
-Wadia 381 CDP
-Focal Electra 1028BE floorstanders
-Clearday Double Shotgun Speaker Cables
-CDP to Pre XLR: Synergistic Research Tesla Apex
-Pre to Power: Telos Black Reference XLR
-Xindak Power conditioner (distributor?)
-Stock power cords for the amps. DIY copper-based PC for the Wadia CDP and DIY silver-based PC for the EC 4.7 Pre
I listen to a wide variety of genres, from rock to jazz to vocal and some classical/orchestral music. At the moment, I am happy with the sound in my system. Just wondering if I can improve the resolution further by getting better PCs or a better power conditioner. The other alternative is to change my wall plugs and use better receptacles. Any suggestions as to which I should start from? Guess my budget is under $400 for the PC and max $1k for a power conditioner.
Thanks in advance!
