Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!!
After over 40 years of playing around with high end audio gear, I would consider myself a pretty well oiled audiophile (old fart). My current audio system is very highly resolving, if I may say so myself. At this juncture, I stream exclusively, so I concentrate on and strive to obtain the highest quality of sound from my streamed music. I have installed several wonderfully effective tweaks throughout my audio system over the past few years, but two of the greatest and most effective tweaks that I feel so fortunate to have discovered were the iFi LAN iSilencer and the Puron AC Conditioner. I use iFi iSilencers on all three of my ethernet cables, and I also use two of the Puron Conditioners in my listening room. I’ll let you do the research for more details on these incredible devises for yourself. But, all I can tell you is this, once I added the devices to my already highly detailed, transparent and resolving system, everything improved!!! Palpability, realism, organic-ness, see-through transparency, etc., all shined though to an even greater degree. When added to the elements of my system that are critical to the overall SQ of my streamed music, these devices actually elevated the sound quality of my audio system to a higher plateau. What these devices do so well is they effectively filter out, cleaning up and eliminate the grunge and noise from the electrical signal in the listening room, and also the ethernet signal itself, to help create a blacker, quieter background in the music. And, all at, IMHO, an extremely reasonable price. Mind you, I’m in no way associated with either company. I’m just passing on to others my own personal positive experience with these two incredible devices. They're quite amazing!!! Happy listening.
I bit the bullet and bought the IFIan. I've worked in recording studios for almost 50 years and this thing does work. I don't know the scientific facts about it at all. I A-B'd it many times, walked away from it, went back and can confirm it does enhance things. I listened to Flim and the BB's, Alan Parsons all the way to the metal Pathogenic. I guess I'll have to save up for Puron Conditioner. |
+1 on the Purons. I have had two in my system for about 100 hrs now. At first, I thought that the improvement was simply because I was listening to well-recorded music. But I have now realized that everything that I listen to . . . even bootleg Led Zeppelin concerts have noticeably improved soundstage and placement of instruments. I have particularly noticed that where the music was really locked in in the center of the soundstage, it is now dispersed better from one side to the other. At $250 per Puron, it is a great buy. |
questforhifi: Suggest you consider the Sonore opticalModule, opticalModule Deluxe – Small Green Computer available from Small Green Computer. Contact Andrew on their website, he can be quite helpful. |
