I just hooked up a Transparent PowerWave (power conditioning system). I've a Linn DSM Selekt and Wilson Sophia 3 speakers. This combo sounds great. But I was blown away with the improvement in sound quality with the PowerWave. You can more clearly hear different instruments and the sound stage is deeper and more realistic. I'm hearing things in my favorite songs that I've never heard before. All the power cords are stock, except for the Linn which is using a Nordost power cable with. I'd see if one of your local HiFi shops will let you demo a good power conditioning system at home so you can hear for yourself the difference they can make.
Power - where to start? Mains, chords, conditioner, filter?
I have a decent HiFi setup with all power cables as delivered by the manufacturer of the unit. I am contemplating upgrading the power infrastructure, but is a confused where to start? What makes the biggest bang for the buck? Power chords to each unit, mains blocks, mains conditioner, mains filter? Any advice before I move into this world?
I have a streamer from Innuos being used for Tidal and Internet radio. A DAC from RME and an integration amplifier from Musical Fidelity.
I live in a flat in a capital and the electricity is probably good, but for sure the SQ is better late evenings, which to some extent is leading me down this route.
