Used to have dedicated power but moved my listening room and with a fully finished basement couldn't change the power supply. Tried PS Audio Powerplant, Shunyata Hydra and Running Springs Haley, and the Haley, the cheapest of the three by far, smoked the other two. Deeper bass, more clarity, smoother sound. My opinion, a friend's and my wife's. Running Springs makes terrific products; try them if you can.
Power Conditioners
The more I read the more I am confused. Passive conditioners, power re-generators, new technologies, yikes!
I am suffering from the common system goes dead in the evening but magically comes back to life like a vampire at midnight. Seems like a clear sign the power is not what it should be. Have decent power cables with a PS Audio Quintet but been thinking a power conditioner might be just what my system needs to sound like midnight all the time.
As usual I am a victim of too much internet research but will probably start with a demo of an Isotek unit from my local hifi shop. Also have PS Audio Premier Powerplant, Torus, Richard Gray, and Furman in the general vicinity.
But then started reading user reviews of Audience (2T is not that pricey) and then MajikBuss and they sound like they have wow factor potential.
Okay need to come clean and admit that I have no dedicated power in this room - do in another room but that is my second system. Waiting for an electrician for a kitchen renovation to do dedicated circuits.
System is Accuphase integrated amp to Harbeth with good quality cd source and computer source as well. Any experience or advice to share with me about power conditioning?
