Mating power cords with APL 3910

Dear Sean:

Can I implement a parallel line filter at the duplex receptacle before the power conditioner? If so, how would you do this?

Dear Yada : )

If you've got an open outlet with enough room to plug in a "wall wart" sized device, simply pick up an Audioprism Quiet Line and do that. If you have an open outlet but don't have the space for the "wall wart" sized device, try using an Enacomm AC line filter. This is a two pronged power plug with a very short length of power cord wired inside of a small metal can that houses a parallel line filter. I've not compared the efficiency / absorption ratios of these two devices, but i do know that they definitely lower the noise floor of the AC branch that they are plugged into. I suggested the Audioprism first over the Enacomm as they are both easier to find and far less costly. Sean

I will buy both and see what works best. I am also checking with my electrician for an isolation transformer setup like the one you mentioned in another important post.

Thank you Sean!

Yada: Your electrician is probably going to be clueless in this regards. It will be up to you and the amount of research that you do on the subject as to who well your electrical system works. Most electricians only understand voltage & current demands, suitable gauges of wire, safety factors / legalities and getting the circuit from point A to point B. Unless you are lucky enough to have an electrician that is both an avid audiophile and reader of forums like these, you'll need to do your own looking, checking and designing. As such, look at some of the pic's and info available in the archives here and start taking notes. Sean

Using David Elrod's Sig 2 on my APL 3910 and the sound is amazing. ALso have dedicated 20 amp lines and Elrod Statement from wall to BPT 3.5+ signature power conditioner and Sig 3 feeding a McCormack DNA-500 amp.
