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.

@classicrockfan you of course can have and express your opinion, but I feel like @alvin1118 is one of the good guys in our small and dying hobby - and that's coming from someone who's never purchased directly from Vinshine or any related products that Vinshine has ever sold. 

Long story short, increasing the gain on the back of the ZRock3 increased the static/buzz while connected to the SE84UFO.  I also tried this with my Pass Labs XA-25 with similar results.  I could turn the gain down, but now I was turning up the volume on my preamp to get the same amount of volume

I am still testing some things out, but ironically if I use my XA-25 in conjunction with the ZRock3, the static/buzz volume increases, although to a much lesser extent when the ZRock3 gain is turned up.  I guess Decware products are made to pair better with their stuff so it makes sense in that regard. 
 

@jwlaudio I’ve had the same experience with the ZR3. Thank you so incredibly much for sharing your findings - Tai Hang now on the short list.

I definitely don’t want to sidetrack this thread, but I would be curious whether @karl_desch has experienced the same static/buzz with his ZR3, Decware Torii, and Zu U6s? I’m thinking probably not.
