Audience aR6-TSS Power Conidtionor


I’m using an Audience aR6-TSS Power Conditioner since last year Summer and I just love it. Everytime after I use it, I will switch it off, but Audience’s dealer told me unless I’m not at home for a long period. Otherwise, I better to turn it on continually everyday without switch it off.  Otherwise, the switch may worn out later if I turn it it on and off everyday.   I don’t feel safe if I switch it on continually, especially when I left home to work. So what is the correct answer?

Unless your neighborhood experience frequent power outages, it's perfectly ok to leave the aR6 'ON' at all times. 

I own a pair of aR6-TSSOX and they always stay 'ON' in my system. As your dealer suggested, you should only turn them off when you are going away on vacation or in case of thunderstorm/lightning.  
I have 2 AR6TSSOX units never turn them off as it take 24 hrs warm up for them to sound there best.I also recommend you update to TSSOX if you can afford it you will get better stage,bass,depth etc.Good luck.

Thanks lalitk & ebm

Thanks for advice!  Please let me know how noticeable the difference in sound quality between a AR6-TSS and AR6-TSS-OX? What cost to upgrade an aR6-TSS to Ar6-TSSOX? Also how long does it take to receive it back?


BTW, if I to leave my aR6-TSS 'ON' at all times, can I put a thin cloth to cover it?  Because my home is quite easy to have dust.

Call Audience for price i think its about $1,600 unit will have better stage ,better bass detail etc.The switch on the back is a circuit breaker not an on/off switch.Again good luck.

The OX upgrade is highly recommended.  I spent another 1K on upgrading all the outlets from Cardas to Furutech GTX-D, rhodium plated receptacles.  I am not sure if you already upgraded to Au24SE power cord, which yields tremendous improvements over the regular power cord.  

I suggest you call Audience directly to access the upgrade cost.  You may speak to Alex Keller at 1-800-565-4390. 

from Audience website, The OX upgrade includes: 
 - Rhodium over copper duplexes - for increased conductivity improving every aspect of sound reproduction.
 - Gold over copper forks - replacing previous tin over copper forks connecting filter capacitors to the receptacles. This provides a noticeably more refined sound.
 - OCC (oxygen free continuous cast) copper wiring throughout. This is one of the most significant improvements ever made providing a big improvement in resolution, speed and soundstaging.
