Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners!
To 4krowme: Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the Tripplite is based on sound principles, no pun intended. However, the execution is kinda low-rent and not aimed for the audiophile customer. I tried one in my system and it actually lowered noise to near zero as measured on an Entech Wideband Noise Analyzer. Exceptionally good for $225. Very, very little hum from the transformer, too. The main drawback was music tended to sound slightly flattened and not especially engaging. Don’t like having an connected stock cable either. I also agree about the Decware. Why Steve put the voltage meter on the back makes little sense. Other than that it looks nicely engineered and gets glowing reviews. I’d buy one today, except I’d have to wait until Winter 2022 to receive it. The woes of handmade products in a tight supply chain. Nope, nope, nope. The noise is not originating from anywhere in my system, unless it can jump from an unplugged component into the AC outlet, in which case I’m taking it to America’s Got Talent. The EMI noise and RFI are being measured straight from the outlet. The system behaves nicely. |
@output555 - From you list I think I would go with a new PS Audio Detect. It seems very similar to my PS Audio Quintet which has been in my system for at least 10 years. Bought it new directly from PS Audio. It has been faithfully doing its job all this time and I have have never had one issue with it. Personally, I have found PS Audio very easy to work with. Another benefit of PS Audio is if you ever decide to upgrade to one of their regenerators you will receive a very generous allowance for trade in. I was shopping a few months back and they would have allowed me the full purchase price on my new regenerator purchase. Now Shunyata makes very interesting products and the Hydra's would be worth exploring.If your budget was a bit higher I would say to look at the Venom V16 Power Conditioner or the Delta D6. The V6 is just a tad bit more than your budget so worth considering. I know some say Shunyata seems like they sell snake oil, but when you see their results in the field of medicine and the founders background in making nuclear submarines electrically quiet, I feel there technically is backed by results. Summary: Lower cost: PS Audio Detect A bit more: Venom V16 Power Conditioner |
