Thanks @fthompson251
Were you a previous Puritan user? Can't recall. Wondering if comparisons are transferrable to others throughout the country with various power quality issues.
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.

@slaw no puritan, just a 25 year old Shunyata Hydra before. I still use it on my LHY switch and LHY EFI. |
Ok @fthompson251 . I had 2nd generation Shunyata all versions/PC's too . Switched to the Puritan PSM 156. I have a pair on dedicated lines. |
Thanks @wig @fthompson251 for your insights. I have had the SRA cables on my radar as well. I put a wanted ad up for a used DPS 4.1 and I’ll keep an eye out for an SRA Signature Amp series in my budget. |
