I myself previously used an Ayre filter plus an PS Audio regenerator. I also used Shunyata power cords. Several years ago I changed to Audioquest power cords as I found them much superior to Shunyata. I found that between the Ayre and Ps Audio power conditioners that certain audio products would work better in one verses the other. That one had to match the audio product to the power conditioner itself for best results. Possibly like finding the right phono preamp for a paticular cartridge I would imagine. A few months I traded the Ayre filter and Ps Audio regenerator for two Audioquest Niagra's 1000's. They are the $1000 strips. Now the overall audio reproduction is truly excellent overall. For the cost I can recommend using an Audioquest power cable-power conditioner combination fully.
Power Cables and Power Conditioner
I bought my first PS Audio (PSA) outlet as well as a PSA power cable. I had intended to use the power cable to go from the new wall outlet to the conditioner but when I got home I realized the Furman
ELITE-15 DMi
has a fixed power cable. I thought dang it and was going to return the PSA cable but then decided to give it a try. So I ran the PSA cable from the Furman to my Rogue Audio Preamp. I swear I think there was a moderate improvement to the overall image. But of course this could be placebo and I have not done a bunch of with/without listening but am happy so far.
I assume the Furman filter is doing its job and adding the PSA power cord to the Pre is preserving this current as best it can. I would like to add another cord for the DAC and the power amp. But thought I would float this probe to see what other people do in similar situations as this.
