Sound Application line conditioner experience?

I own a RLS 240 (the Reference Line Stage for 240v) and have it in my system for more than 6 months...in short it is good...

I plug everything into in....TV, set top box, Universal player, CD player, pre, monoblocks...absolutely no loss of dynamics....there is a sequence of plugging them in...check with Jim...

Previously i owned Hydra 8 (slowed the dynamics, long gone from my system), Running Springs Audio Duke (this is okay for the amps as there is no loss in dynamics, sold this to get the SA with more outlets)....

One thing to note.....do not do any critial listening for the first 3 to 4 days.....the sound will go from good to bad to good and then it will fall into place...this is the timing for the caps inside to fully charge up....did this a few times and the magic hour is between 3 to 4 days (running 24/7).....

good luck and i hope you get a pleasant experience with it..

Great to hear that you like it....the initial roller coaster ride(sound changing) can be a little unnerving when you first experience it...

My reaction was, wow, paid so much and to get this crappy sound, but once it clicks...a big smile...

Now try playing with power cords from the wall to the RLS1, it will start playing tricks with you again...

Also, did you insert one of Jim's wall outlets? He is a wealth of knowledge and forget about trying to email him...call him and you get the info in double quick time..

Again....good luck and enjoy...

I had two Gold Furutech outlets and when i changed them over to Jim's, it seemed to make the music less muddy....have not tried any others yet as Jim has his theories on these outlets and i am happy with the current setup...

For the cords, Jim sent a MAC Delta One (loaner) for me to get started....i am now using a Harmonix Studio Master which seems to give some bite and bring the music a little forward...it is okay for what it does for the moment...

Other cords that i have tested are Jorma Super power (with bybee), Prana Wire Satori & Samadhi....so far to me and my system, the HArmonix is okay...not fantastic...so the search goes on for this...

Have not tested Elrods on these yet...and Jim recommends FMS now...but they are $$$$....

hope this helps....

Hi Tjassoc,
Depending on the Sound Application model you have and in reference to the where the power cord plugs into the unit:

For the Digital side:
- digital source closest to the power cord
- and then remaining digital items after that

For Analog side:
- pre amp first or closest to power cord
- then remaining analog components

I suggest you plug your amp direct to the wall.

Hope it helps.
