This little oddity: a vintage 2-outlet isolation transformer manufactured by NCR. That stands for National Cash Register, folks. I acquired it in ’97 from a friend who had done a few mods to it. I gave him a pair of Linn Tukans and he gave me the NCR and 48-feet of van den Hul CS122 speaker cable. To this day I think I got the better part of that deal. The NCR isn’t stout enough to use with amps; just sources like CDPs’, tuners and turntables.
Years ago I owned a PS Audio Power Plant Premier re-generator. Initially I had all my components plugged into it but I decided to do an A/B test with my CDP plugged into the PPP and then the NCR. To my shock and dismay the CDP clearly sounded better with the ancient NCR. The PPP is long gone but I have a warm & fuzzy feeling that the NCR will be with me to the very end.
