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.

Hi everyone. Just got my unit in the US yesterday and so far seems I wasn't hit with tariff 🤞 although I heard its like taxes in that you can be chased for it at a later date... 
So far I have my Phono, integrated and DAC running of it. I have kept my turntable on another circuit as it has a switching power supply and I thought that might be a good idea. 
The system is sounding good although it's too soon for me to really know much. I think I am expecting a good result to be that the system sounds like it does on a good day, all the time:)... 

There have been some comments that loading up one unit with all your gear including power amp might not be the best and in that case a 2nd unit might be required for the power amp (depending on its draw). 

So I am trying to calculate how much current my integrated is requiring under load. 

Does this sound right?.... Seems low to me.....

AMP = Leben cs600X (push pull tube, class A ~35W)

- The Leben CS-600X integrated amplifier has a maximum mains power consumption of approximately 195 watts
- Determine max current (A) = power (P)/Voltagee(W) 
- For the US this means 
- (A) = 195W/120V  = ~ 1.63 (A)

- While the exact “normal” current draw is not specified in the manufacturer’s documentation, it is reasonable to estimate that typical consumption is between 60% and 80% of the maximum, depending on listening habits and speaker load.

- This would equate to roughly 1.0 to 1.3 amps during normal use.

Sound right?
