Richard Gray 1200S, Hydra or ????


Kicking around an upgrade in the powerline area.

Already have decicated panel and lines; FPL replaced the wiring from the post to the house (and a nice improvement that was).

But power is still a bit spotty.

So what's the way to go?

I'd like something that I can plug a pair of Rogue Mangun monblocks into.

Yea, time to start researching indepth. I'll see what dealers allow audtions of a couple of these fancy power strips.
Sos, I found a bunch of articles on that site, thanks for the tip.
Tireguy, the 120's run much cooler since I swtiched to Svte 6550c's. It's liveable now!

i have used rg400s one for each block (makes placing the amps closer to the speakers easier). It had a slight improvement in the sound. I found the rgs much better on the front end.

I noticed what you were using for tubes....this is where you can make these amps sing. I have tried a host of input and output tubes. Put some good used or nos (depends on how much you want to spend) in these amps. I found that tunsols (6550s) are the best outputs. The inputs give you more bang for the buck. Rca (reasonalbe) make a big difference!! Masushitas (probably spelled wrong) Ats are great!(each tube has a slight sonic sig select to your taste) Spend the money on tubes svte 6550s really do not do justice to these amps. If you are using stock input...you will be shocked at the improvement when you change.

as alway imo

I have a Richard Gray product in one system and an Audio
Magic unit in the other. Both result in an improvement
but the Audio Magic is definitely the better design.
If you haven't already, consider top-notch PC's first and then consider AC line conditioning/regeneration. Also, on your new AC lines; Are they connected to the same phase at the electrical box? They should be. New wiring and receptacles also take time to "burn-in". A couple weeks should do it.
