Perhaps the Quintet have slowed the current. Burn it in and see what happens. But, make sure to A/B compare at the same volume (which may mean different position of the volume nob) and see if there's really loss of dynamics.
PS Audio Quintet Line Conditioner & Dynamics
Hi A'goners,
Any thoughts on passive line conditioning and restricted dynamocs? I just tried a PS Audio Quintet (power strip with surge protection and passive line conditioning) having been warned it would restrict dynamics.
After 25 hrs, I felt like I couldn't breath listening to my system. I took it out, and it was like a I could breath again...dynamics, transient attacks...it all came back.
I heard delicacy and detail which was very real and improved, but I had to turn the volume 20% louder and lost dynamic range.
PS audio said to burn it in for at least 200hrs...but I am skeptical. Any experience with others out there?
Since I have a PAD Dominus PC, I am using it with the Quintet to power most of my system. Should I try to find a power strip with removeable power cable and no line conditioning? Does such a prodct exist....I am in UK. Thanks for your guidance, A'Goners!!
