Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system
Had a person offer up one for sale on the other site and it was a scammer :(( Still on the hunt for a used 136. What do these typically go for on the uses market? The last price hike kind of messed up the used market.

The 136 is still in the running for sure. Just need to find a used one.

I have looked at the Ansuz Mainz8 but its a bit out of my price range from what I can see.

The speakers in question top many $5-10k speakers. I have a very well balanced system I just want to find a good power solution in the price range mentioned above. Power distribution with light filtering would be nice.  Was wanting input on power ...

The ejection seat in the helicopter comment had me rolling! I am currently using CSS 1TDX for speakers. I am leaning towards a higher end, power distribution block. This one to be exact. I am also upgrading the network while I’m doing this becau...

Thinking maybe I should just get a solid power distribution block for a lot less money. Wisdom Cable Technology seems to make a really nice one.

Also the reason why I am looking into changing out my power setup is I am currently running an older Panamax 5500 AC regen unit and I am thinking that is probably hurting my setup more than helping it.

Thanks for the great input so far. I have upgradded my cables and most everything in my system minus putting in a dedicated network switch and already have plans for that. I might just try and find a used 136 as its more inline with the cost of my...

And later down the road I can upgrade to the Ultimate mains cable from them.

I wonder if DH labs or Cardas make a warmer cable than the Matrix Ref II?

I ended up not liking either. Synergistic research was just too bright in my system, and the audience was better, but still not better than what I had. I think I have found the weak link in my cable setup and it the RCA interconnect. @audphile1 ...

@audphile1 Just an update. I have a pair of synergistic research foundation cables coming, as well as a demo audience ohno. Both speaker cables and interconnects. I will report back soon.

I do very much agree about what might sound good in one system may not in the next. I also have no way of testing out lots of cables easily so getting input on what others liked is a start and I can narrow it down from there.    I really apprecia...

The bigger question is why would he make something like that up?? 14 months is a lot of time if you do not work full time and if most cables are already broken in because they are used.

@bugredmachine What IC in the $300-$400 new or used would you recommend? Also what SC in the $600-$700 range new or used. I did go through a lot on your list but most were out of my budget.
