Who uses power conditioning?

I use Synergistic Research Powercell 12 UEF SE with SRX power cord from wall to PowerCell and then Galileo SX cords to all components. SR Active Ground Block with HD grounding cables for all cables and equipment. That’s a good start. Things really get good when you wind all these cables and connectors with fo.Q TA-32 tape brushed with Total Contact. Including and especially the grounding leads from all the cables. Most importantly treating the SRX grounding lead. OMG.

In my system it replaced a Galileo SX power cable from wall to PowerCell. So the SRX was competing against an already first rate power cord which already had a treated grounding cable. The SRX is quite amazing. Prior to the (completely reversible) makeover, the SRX opened up the top end in a major way. The top end wasn’t just more extended, it was more detailed and I started noticing percussion that just wasn’t audible before the SRX. Records with depth showed more of it, and the bass also felt much more extended. In the midrange, there was less grain. It was a very exciting improvement, noticeable from the first few seconds of the first record. As noted in the above post, this went from exciting to mindblowing when the grounding cable was treated.

Fantastic David. When treating the HD cables, start with both termination pins of the grounding cable, and the copper strip of the AGB. Brush the paste on the fo.Q, a light but full coating. Then wrap the grounding cable terminations tightly with the tape. If you like the improvement, keep going and wrap the whole grounding cable. It just gets better the more you wrap. 

David - if you don’t already have the Active Ground Block and if funds are limited, go for the AGB and HD grounding cables first and if possible treat the Galileo HD grounding cable. You can always upgrade to the SRX . Because the SRX really needs the AGB to show its best, in my opinion.
