I own both the QLS and Duet. The QLS-6 will sound better if your AC is clean and you are looking for the most out of your system. But it does not have any surge protection. If you feel you need surge protection because where you live has a lot of storms or is prone to surges, get a Duet. Also, try a Teslaplex outlet as well to go with the QLS or Duet.
Synergistic Research cables for my new system?
First off I really like the reviews about the Synergistic research cables and I asked the people from Synergistic Research and they said to get there Basik Interconnects and speaker cables.
I 'm getting the ALO Panda full range 20 watt bookshelf speakers with miniwatt NS3 3.5 watt tube amp($599). for a source I'm getting a Pro-Ject RPM 1.3 Turntable($499) and parasound zphono phone pre amp($199).
My 3 questions are: given the fact the tube amp and phono stage are entry level would high end power cables do much on basic equipment? What would be a nice tonearm cable for my turntable. I hear great reviews about the Synergistic Research Tricon but given it's a little bit more then the cost of the turntable would it be over kill? Last question I have a PS audio duet with PS audio plus power cord going into a PS audio power port premier and was wondering if the Synergistic Research qls-6 is any better then the duet. I know first hand that cheap equipment can sound great with the right cables but when does it become overkill?
