| PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR @mtrot Wow, you think the SGC lacks bass and impact? If there’s one thing it does have it’s bass and impact, in spades. I have owned many DAC/preamp combos like the SGC and it betters all of them, regardless of measurements. With more than 45 year... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? Here's my enthusiastic vote for PS Audio. Every experience I've had with the company has been positive. They make great products at a reasonable price, and their customer service is second-to-none. Paul McGowan is a gentleman and straight-shooter,... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To leotis: Until the exclusive seller changes his rigid no-returns policy, the only Equi-Core product I'll buy is a used one. I've also heard there is variance in the product line due to poor windings of some of the transformers. Again, without a ... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To wpiercy: Interesting, I had the opposite opinion. Liked the Furman Elite 15 PFi quite a bit, also liked the Tripplite, but found it less satisfactory. The Tripplite had a constrained frequency response to my ears. Slightly veiled. Then again, i... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To voodoofunk: Interesting. Some folks rave about the Puritan products, but you have a different opinion. Such is the way of this hobby. I would try the Equi-Core 1000 or 1300 if not for the fact that the exclusive seller doesn't allow "trial." Fo... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To bemused: I've ordered two of their plug-in harmonic resonators.I figure this is a low-cost way to see if they work, and to what effect. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To: notubesforyouThanks for the vote for Shunyata. They seem to get the most votes overall. I looked at several but all had 15-20 years of age on them, and I'd prefer to get something newer, or new. Their new stuff is way out of my budget range.In... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To bemused: I did look at their products and did some research on the tech. The science may be good, and the results enjoyable, but if it doesn't address EMI and RFI, I'm not going to be satisfied. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To j-wall: Yeah, Shunyata seems to get universal love. I've decided the Hydra is older tech, going back 20 years, so I'm looking for something newer used.I like PS Audio and Paul, a lot. There seem to fans of their regenerators and detractors. The... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To thyce: I hear you. Doubtful the house is in violation as it was carefully inspected prior to completion. Nonetheless, I will check things to see what’s connected to what. From what you’re recommending, it sounds like a ground rod fix is relativ... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To Tim_p: Thanks, I’ve seen it. Glad he had some nice folks to solve his problem for free. I’m not going there. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To pennfootball71: Thanks, but you’ve tripled my budget with the PC recommendations. Diminishing returns, and all that. Plus, while you don’t seem to be a fan of the "cheap" PCs, there are many who rave about the ones I’ve listed. As I’ve said, my... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To dvddesigner: Thanks for the Shunyata info. It appears the Hydra 8 is long discontinued, with most used models 10-20 years old, yet still costing over $1k. I can't see spending that kind of money for something that old, with older tech. The newe... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! @bemused: I looked at their products, and, honestly, it looks like mystic black magic stuff with faux-science sounding terms being thrown around. What makes them special for you? What have you compared them to? | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: Thanks for clarifying. I've ordered a multimeter and will let you know the results. |
