A poor man's Synergistic Research Enigma PS?
For those that use SR cables that employ their Active Shielding know how big of an impact the MPC PS has on the cables performance. I started with the standard MPC's powering my cables active shielding and then stepped up to the Galilleo MPC for a substantial improvement in performance but that improved performance came at quite a cost and that being $400 for each Galilleo MPC and if you have more than one SR cable, that adds up quick!!!
Having heard several demos of the Enigma Active Shielding PS at RMAF, I came away that this is the ultimate expression of what Active Shielding can provide to a cables performance and that is exceptionally substantial! With that in mind, I started by running my MPC's with balanced power which did improve the performance of the cables but with only marginal improvements. I then stepped up to the Galilleo MPC's which did substantially improve the cables performance but still seemed to be a dark cloud over what I had heard with the Enigma.
On a whim one day, I ran an extension cord from the PS Audio PP-600 AC Regenerator that powers the HT system over to the power strip that provides power to all my MPC's and sat down for a listen... everything and I mean everything improved in a most substantial way!! Treble was vastly more pure, bass agility/expression was firmly rooted and soundstage exploded in all directions! Music instrument harmonics were also vastly improved much in the same way with the Enigma PS.
This was sooo good that I had to find a way to keep the performance attributes I was experiencing the PP-600 but having an extention cord from the HT room over to the listening room would be unacceptable. It was then that I found a 100 watt AC regenerator for sale here on AA Trader and decided to give it a shot. Running the regenerator from balanced power and it providing juice for the MPC power strip, the musical/system performance improvements provided by the PP-600 were again more firmly anchored and a system improvement much more economical than the Enigma and one that has prompted me to vocalize my enthusiasm and suggest to all those that use SR cables to power their MPC's with regenerated power.
While a small wattage AC regenerator may seem to be overkill for some, in this application it is MUCH cheaper than the Enigma's price tag and that is even if one can find an Enigma for sale as I think SR has discontinued it's production but I may be mistaken on that.
