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.

I have been burning in my Tai Hang for one week but know from experience that it will get even better at 300+ hours.

The first thing I noticed after implementing the Tai Hang was how natural and organic it sounded with better micro/macro details and musicians appears to have a live presence within your listening space.

I have been using a very good power conditioner for over 4 years and with just one week of use, the Tai Hang has already surpassed the performance of my previous unit...

Fit and finish of the Tai Hang is excellent and my experience with Alvin and Vinshine Audio has been Outstanding!

Keep up the great work!

I've had mine for about a week and I'm very pleased!  I can hear more detail.  On a couple of well-worn tracks, I can now make out all of the lyrics.  Without the Tai Hang, the singers sounded like they were mumbling.  They're not mumbling, they're either whispering or smashing syllables together but they're not mumbling.  The increased resolution is  musically meaningful.  It is easier to hear the interplay between musicians and instruments sound more realistic. 

There's no change in tonality.  Nothing is bright or edgy.  I don't like that kind of sound.  My Meitner MA3i dac is smooth and my Graham LS 5/5s have the famous Gundry dip in the presence region.  That said, the system has more presence and, when called for, more bite.  Any bite is quick, not cringy.  

Finally, I plugged in my mono amplifiers to it and haven't heard any loss of dynamics.  If anything, the system sounds more dynamic, with greater contrasts between loud and soft.  I am running class D amps, so they're not drawing a lot of juice.

Great product. Very nice improvement from my previous conditioner/distributor (and cheaper too).  The Tai Hang lowers the noise floor and/or removes grunge. If my system expands, I will buy another.

@paullb What conditioner/distributor did the Tai Hang replace in your system? I am in the market for a new conditioner and the Tai Hang has piqued my interest.
