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.

Thanks @daytrader   My plan as well. With only 4 outlets I can cover all front end components before the amp. Tomorrow marks 3 weeks and waiting. 

I received my TaiHang today. I have it all hooked up and will wait a few days to pass on my impressions. Everything needs to settle back in. I kinda moved some things around to make a spot for it.  Ordered June 13th, Shipped July 8 and received on July 23. 

I've had TaiHang a week now, one thing is for sure, it's quiet no matter what. Today it's hot out, the A/C is running, my wife has the washer  and dryer going and there is still silence, no line noise at all. These Stack Audio AUVA EQ's are excellent. I now have 2 sets under my Aurender and my DAC. I plan to order 2 more sets next week for under my Legacy Wavelet and Coda amp.

I believe this will be my next purchase for my rig but it’s going to take me  a bit to save for it. ALSO I will deciding on the appropriate PC into it. (Leaning on another Snake River Audio Signature AMP series.) I hope the Tariff Yo Yo show is resolved by July wheen I order it. 

What power cords is everyone using to the Tai Hang ? Something decent or something more high end? I am trying to consider the full cost to introduce it to the system. A good PC added would double the cost of the Tai Hang.  

@toneranger58  I only know what it says on the webpage which is 4-6 weeks. They have acknowledged my order was received. I've bought quite a few things from Alvin before.

@wig 

So the Furutech DPS 4.1 Power Cord with FI-50 NCF (R) Plugs is what you recommend? How is the FI-46 Gold connectors with NCF? Thank you!

@wig  I was able to land a 1 meter Furutech DPS 4.1 Power Cord with FI-50 NCF plugs on the used market. Thanks for the advice! The TaiHang won't be here for a few weeks so I can get this thing on to power something  to break it in while I wait. Alvin told me today they are 4-5 weeks out on production. My plan is to power my Aurender, DAC, DDC and Wavelet II with it.

Has anyone recently received their TaiHang? Trying to get an idea on the wait. (I ordered June 13th) 

 @wig  I got the Furutech cable a few days ago and it's hooked up to a space heater in my basement. (My listening room is in the basement and it's rather cool down there so I use a space heater with a thermostat set at 68 to keep the room consistent) 

Alvin says my TiaHang will ship this week. Right about at 4 weeks out. POnce I get it and get it all connected and put a few days on I will get back for some feedback here.

@hoodjem  Thanks for that feedback. I appreciate hearing that. My TaiHang shipped today! You echo what everyone else says about it’s performance. Are you using the stock power cord on it?

@hoodjem Well no, but now that you mention it I do remember that no PC’s come with their stuff. I was curious because I have a Furotech DPS 4.1 with FI-50NCF plugs for mine.. Thanks for the update. I assume you are pleased with your purchase.

I just got the AUVA EQ for under my Aurender N200 to try. I had the Iso Accoustics Orea there before. 

@wig   I like them there, not a big change from the Orea.  But nice. I ordered 1 more Orea Bronze to have a set of 4 for under the TaiHang. (Use of assets..LOL) 

@timothy468   Thanks for the well thought out review, give it some time as it will probably get better. I ordered mine on June 13th, It shipped on July 8th. and my estimate is it will be here maybe by the end of next week.
