Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer

What a surprise after installing the Taihang in my system,, in a word, amazing.  Stage depth clarity was amoung one of the first things I notice.  My system consists of tubes pre and power amps, with a digital and analog front end.  Tubes as we know exhibit a second harmonic noise distortion which is a given and something we live with as it’s our perception as being more musical.  Dirty power can add more nastiness to this by way of unfiltered AC.  With the addition of the Taihang it has made all the background information much more clearer.  My speakers are fairly high resolving so was able to take advantage of this additional gain the Taihang give me.  Leading edges from instruments started and stopped more precisely still retaining musicality. Black background noise seemed non existent as we like saying but in this case it really does without straining to not hear.  So clean power can do all this, seems to be!  Also will mention as in some cases experienced with power amps, I sensed no loss in dynamics or compression which is one of the biggest concerns when implementing such products.  This in my first day of listening.  So again I’ll go back to my original statement, amazing!   Alvin’s collaboration as he calls it, has some magic inside this beautifully crafted box.

Just thought I'd chime in on my experience with the unit.  I also had some DC issues that I'd been trying to address.  It has completely increased the musicality of my headphone rig which centers around RAAL amplification and headphones.  My experienced mirrored Srajan's.  Deeper, darker background.  Better tonal saturation and weight which was a meaningful improvement.  And shockingly, absolutely no loss in dynamics.  The rig was fairly dialed-in, but this has taken it to another level.  Previously, power distribution was via Furutech (same as Srajan's).  In the past this solution bettered everything else I've tried.  Also wish it had 6 outlets, rather than 4.    

I'll be adding a second to my 2-channel rig which centers around Voxativ speakers and Lyric amplification.  I've cycled through a ton of different power solutions.  The most involved was dedicated lines along with Isoclean units.  I've also tried some other DC blocking solutions and they didn't come close to this one.

Within the context of my expectations and experiences with "power conditioning", this is a product that I'd highly recommend.

OK, I just added it to my 2-channel rig and Wowza!  No edge to anything, more detail, more weight, better timbre, soundstage.  It reveals more detail but not in a fatiguing sorta way.  I think the more revealing your rig is the more you'll appreciate this.  An absolute bargain at its price.

Not trying to be a fanboy, but this is one of those improvements that keeps you hooked on the hobby.  I thought my rig sounded better before, but I was hoping for more body and better timbre.  Mission accomplished!  Cycling through my collection and have absolutely no reservation about playing any type of genre.  That's always the sign of a good piece of kit.
