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.
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 ordered my Taihang on 20 May 2025. It arrived today 8 July 2025. I have my entire front end, electrostatic speakers, and suwoofers plugged into it. Pass Labs monoblock amps are plugged straight into the wall, (each one on a dedicated line). The Taihang is on its own separate dedicated line also. With only about two hours on it, everything sounds more fluid and effortless. Music sounds cleaner, but smoother and not at all edgy. Details are more pronounced but not brighter. I would not say it makes things warmer, but the mid-range does seem more present. Also, the bass seems tighter and more articulate. In fact, everything seems more articulate. It’s almost as if everything is louder (even though the volume setting on my preamp reads the same), yet smoother and more coherent. I look forward to how it sounds after being plugged in for 300 hours. |
@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? |
