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.

Alvin came on YouTube today with bad news on future sales to the U.S.   April 20th is his drop dead date for any current orders that will not be affected by the new tariff changes.  He looked serious and said “this is not a sales pitch”, and I believe him.  
So if anyone wants one at these prices and in a timely manner, now is your time to act.  No skin in this game, other than I have one and am very satisfied with its performance ratio.

Not knowing if I can get one before the May 1st deadline is what made me hesitant. Then I read this morning that a 104% tariff against China will go into effect at midnight tonight so so much for that. 

No way in hell I'm going to pay just over double for anything. No wonder Alvin looked so serious and despondent in today's video. America has a huge customer base and this will hit his business in a very bad way.

All the best,

Oh well!. He’s destroying the markets so why not everything else we love?  Hopefully it won’t last!

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.
