| Power Conditioner Advice please... First of all, I need to explain that that, at the same time as buying the Dectet, I also bought some after market power cables. So what follows is actually a review of the Dectet with new power cables, not my system as before. A review of the ... | |

| Let's talk power cords Has anyone here tried a good quality/non standard Power Cord through their amp and not heard a difference? | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... Hey Hifi. Re cables I just couldn’t bring myself to spend 100’s of clams on wire so bought two of these:https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F251245149226unkown and unbranded but had double shielding an... | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... Hey String - I’m sure you experience is shared by many others. I think if anyone can get a conditioner right then it has to be PS Audio. Did you use any of their products? | |
| Power Conditioner Advice please... I have ordered the Dectet today and will report back in a week or two. I was also helped by the posts above to realise that I needed to make sure that there was nothing else in the power delivery chain which could contribute towards noise/lowering... | |

| Power Conditioner Advice please... Thanks to everyone for the additional input which is all very interesting. I just need to note here that I am based in the UK (so some of the suggested products are not available here) and I did install a dedicated 20 amp feed from the breaker box... | |

| Power Conditioner Advice please... Thanks to everyone for all your input, it’s great to get a range of opinion. The Dectet looks like an ideal solution so thanks hifiman for that spot on reccomendation. Re background noise - whilst I do live close to an industrial area and town cen... | |
| Bi-amping with DEQX active crossover Thanks Giri. The WWP’s have two separate binding posts connected via an external cable so the two sections (woofer & mid/tweeter) can be separated. I Thought this would mean that one passive crossover would be by-passed, however, I have no id... | |
| Bi-amping with DEQX active crossover Thank you to all for your considered responses and advice. Almarg I very much appreciate the equipment research you have undertaken on my behalf. Taking all the advice together, it would seem that the benefits may be limited and the implementation... | |
| Room Acoustics Sorry, didn’t read your post properly! | |
