What kind of amp are you using? I love my Quintet right out of the box and thought the sound was much better. I could care less if I have to turn it up a little, thats why I always go with a big amp. The more current the better I M.H.O. As my Daddy told me,"Not having enough power is like driving a Vet with a Lawn Mower Engine" . I have never seen a bad review on the Quintet so I would give it some break in time. If your not happy with it, I would bet it would be easy to sell (drop me a line,I might be interested). Good Luck!
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!!
