Should I ground my Tice Powerblock / Titan Combo?
The Power Block is fine...it is a isolation transformer...that means the neutral is isolated from the house...which in turn reads as an open circuit (no ground) if you plug a polarity checker (in this case the power strip) into the Tice output (se...

I have 3 different pc audio set ups. The oldest is a Digital Audio Labs CardDeluxe> Monarchy Audio DIP Classic (24/96 mod) > Benchmark DAC version 2. The DAL offers a isolated ground with excellent SRC. The hook up is Canare L5CFB coax and D...

MikeHow do you like the latest DIP version? 
Long USB Cable OK?
The new flat WireWorld USB cable can handle lengths up to 7 meters. I have a 1.5m and 5m in my system and I can't hear a sonic difference between the two cable lengths like some other cable brands. BTW, the sound quality is superb compared to othe... 
Non-current limiting power conditioners
Vett93This appears to be unique to your situation, when power is cut from the PE, APC, Shunyata Guardian, or the S/AC. each will require a re-stabilization period, but so will all other filter designs, including ferrite and choke based parallel de...

Vett93The PE does not experience constant break in after it has stabilized on the circuit. Average break in is between 8 and 12 days pending model. I agree with Clio09, it sounds like you are experiencing the EL caps in the component power supply ... 
Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter
I have recently removed the Quantum products so I could evaluate the PE III designs. I am starting to prefer the non-Quantum set up. YMMV.Alan

It is a typo...I'm still living in a out of hotels over here and they are charging me by the minute to log on....so I am trying to cover a lot of information in a short period of time....not to mention I'm not the greatest typist in the world...tw... 
Review: Allan Maher Power Enhancer AC filter
Jen is correct, the PE does not break in. The leakage from the PE charges the magnetic field along the length of the in wall wiring, and changes the harmonic ringing character of each duplex wired on the circuit, component power supply, etc. At th...

SherodAlways plug the PE into the brightest sounding outlet on the circuit if you want good performance from the PE. You will know after the first 15 minutes if you like the placement. A second PE in your set up, installed as I described, will pro...

Sherod-Alan has mentioned in the past on various sites to remove other kinds of parallel units when auditioning the PE. Sometimes filters of this type can overlap one another and cause a harmonic crossover effect. The PE will work with other types...

KenI am sorry for the delay of your order. We had a part problem. We ordered cases back on July 1 that took an extra week due to a back order. When the cases finally arrived we lost 60% of them because they were broken during transit. When our nex...

You guys should use a parallel device on both side for best effect. The wall is good and the first outlet in the Hydra is good.Alan 
voltage/polarity issues with isoclean transformer
That is normal for any a/c transformer (isolated or balanced). Alan 
ac noise rejection filtering?
The PS Audio product is totally different. I don't have too much experience with the PS Audio plug in, but I can say we do have experience with the PS Audio P series products, and our enhancers did a very good job upgrading their performance. It t...
