The nature and character of the wall power are, by far, the most critical element to the nature and character of the sound. The only genius designed products I have experienced are those made by Shunyata. I am the fortunate owner of older models of their premiere products, Triton/Typhon. Two full size chassis retailing for $9k each functioning together, I believe them to be the most expensive power system short of a dedicated room size power production. A very good example of their effectiveness, before T & T Pandora was unlistenable. After I spend every morning delightfully reveling in true high fidelity of Pandora! An absolute transformation of the sound. I understand that Shunyata is one on the few companies in Washington state still in full operation since a significant part of their business being power products for the medical industry.
Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other?
Hello,
I know a lot of you do not like or believe in power conditioners. But I want to protect my system and improve sound and video quality.
I am trying to decide between the ISOTEK evo3 Aquarious and the Audioquest Niagara 1200 for my main system. I have read good reviews about them both, asked a couple of shops and one recomended the Niagara and the other the Isotek. Both gave the same reason: "it souds better".
First system: Power amp, preamp/dac, tv, computer, computer motitor, ruter, nas. (Probably will plug the last 4 on a different power strip)
For my second system, I am thinking about the Audioquest Powerquest 3, but I can not find any reviews. So, can any one tell me about their experience with it? I am open to other sugestions also.
Second system: Power amp, preamp, network player/dac, tv, computer and network switch. (These will all be plugged in to the Powerquest for example). I also like the powerquest3 because of the on off switch. I do not use this system as much so I like to cut the power off completly.
If you need specifics on my systems, I will give no problem.
Right now I am using 2 Salicru safe7 surge protectors, they are cheapos and probably not the best in protection or for my system.
Thanks.
