Add-Powr Power Conditioner Review
The owner of Add-Powr was doing business previously as QRT making a very similar product until he sold it to Nordost. The Add -Powr products are unique in that they upgrade the power in your walls, not just what you plug into them. This review is for the $$ flaghship product but they have many others on their website.
I use two of his products (one from thge QRT line and one from Add-Powr) in my system and the benefits are cumulative, here is the review of the "Sorcr" in hifi+
Well, nothing in that review helps understand very much how the system works See the website and call Bill to discuss. I think you’ll hate it though, after you took 30 years and spent $$$$ ($150K?) to find out it could have taken less time and been MUCH less expensive if you had bought a unit first. 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥 The good news is if you get a unit now you might not need to spend another $100K to finally get decent SQ. 🤣😂😁🤣🤣😂🤣 |
The ADD-Powr Sorcer and Wizard are unlike traditional power conditioners. They are not filters, nor isolation transformers, nor power re-generation devices, nor inductive energy storage devices. They are harmonic resonators that "condition" AC power in a unique manner. The layman's explanation is at the web site. Pulsing the AC line at a very low frequency (and with fast rise/fall times) will result in the superposition of a square wave upon itself. The idea of a harmonic content derives from the fact that a square wave is comprised of a mathematical series of multiple sine and co-sine wave from the fundamental out to infinity., as discovered by Fourier. If this low frequency square wave signal finds its way past the power supply rectification stage and onto the DC line, then this altered reference will unleash the harmonics into the amplifier. The idea of resonance takes over. The audio will be completely affected by harmonics from the minute (millivolt) square wave riding on the DC line.' The actual power supply uses about 500mA at 9 volts, or 4.5 watts. Traditional power conditioners do what they do well, but none of them offer the harmonic benefits to recorded music like the ADD-Powr products. And they will improve the audio signal energy (signal-to-noise ratio) by as much as 10 - 15% throughout the audio spectrum. What power product can do that? Answer: none. |
And they will improve the audio signal energy (signal-to-noise ratio) by as much as 10 - 15% throughout the audio spectrum. +1, I find it was very impactful on my network too, my router, modem, NAS, etc are all benefitting. I plugged the most recent add power unit I purchased into the power strip that my PJ and back surround amps are plugged into in the back of the room. The picture from my PJ popped as expected but the nice surprise was the my entire system got a benefit, side surrounds, height channels, etc. The units synergize, even when plugged into different receptacles. @cohsystms , any advice for @donavabdear who is being plagued by hum on his subs?
@erik_squires , if you got questions about power, @cohsystms is the member to ask :). |
