Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer


What a surprise after installing the Taihang in my system,, in a word, amazing.  Stage depth clarity was amoung one of the first things I notice.  My system consists of tubes pre and power amps, with a digital and analog front end.  Tubes as we know exhibit a second harmonic noise distortion which is a given and something we live with as it’s our perception as being more musical.  Dirty power can add more nastiness to this by way of unfiltered AC.  With the addition of the Taihang it has made all the background information much more clearer.  My speakers are fairly high resolving so was able to take advantage of this additional gain the Taihang give me.  Leading edges from instruments started and stopped more precisely still retaining musicality. Black background noise seemed non existent as we like saying but in this case it really does without straining to not hear.  So clean power can do all this, seems to be!  Also will mention as in some cases experienced with power amps, I sensed no loss in dynamics or compression which is one of the biggest concerns when implementing such products.  This in my first day of listening.  So again I’ll go back to my original statement, amazing!   Alvin’s collaboration as he calls it, has some magic inside this beautifully crafted box.

In this video, Alvin states that the Taihang is non-current limiting - so amps can be plugged into it. The two small round devices in these photos are inductors - not transformers. Interesting design.

Keeping an eye on this one as well, it looks intriguing. I just wish it had maybe 2 more outlets. 4 is probably enough for most systems but I personally need a few extra. Or maybe they will launch a bigger version later with more outlets.

How much is it ? Maybe put one in my wife’s system  I have had a lot of praise in my 2 systems in the AQ Niagra

3k and 5k    Which if you use their storm series on up power cords Thunder , Tornado,Hurricaine

a vast step up even vs any other brand of similar price ,synergy I guess does matter ,The 3000 very good, the 5000,is exceptional with power factor correction

and grounding technologies..

I wish I could have afforded the Niagra based on what I’ve read .  The TaiHang came delivered to my door $1035.74 freight and taxes included.   If you were to order, you would be in a great position to compare it to the AQ at $5900. 

Does this have surge protection? Or would you plug it into a surge protector first?

He never says surge protection nor did anyone in the comments. Am I missing something?

How do you know if it’s on? When Alvin plugged his demo in, I did not see any indication he had actually plugged it into the wall.  I have an Audience AR-6 and it has a small blue light that’s on when it’s on.

Hey friends,

 

Thank you @daytrader! Appreciate you sharing your experience on the AG forum!

The Taihang is a collaboration between Vinshine Audio and Kinki Studio—a project we've been working on for quite some time.

 

It’s a high-current power enhancer capable of delivering up to 60A instantaneously (though it's ultimately limited by the 15-20A capacity of the wall socket). I’ve connected my source, DAC, preamp, power amp (monoblocks), and all my other gear through the Taihang, and it performs exceptionally well. I don’t notice any compression, bass loss, or anything negative. On the contrary, the Taihang brings out more nuances, details, and a clearer instrument placement with a more defined soundstage.

 

Taihang has the surge protection built-in. When it's powered on, the front panel indicator LED lit. 

 

 

Happy listening! 

Many thanks,

@classicrockfan you of course can have and express your opinion, but I feel like @alvin1118 is one of the good guys in our small and dying hobby - and that's coming from someone who's never purchased directly from Vinshine or any related products that Vinshine has ever sold. 

toro3, my experience as well with Alvin, though I do own the highly praised Denafrips Pontus2. 
 

classicrockfan, I believe with new product designs one is better off to listen before they speak.  But of course you are able to believe as you wish. 

@classicrockfan you base that opinion on what? I get it - you don't believe in power conditioning, that cables make a difference, and that re-clocking can be helpful in the digital domain. Everything you don't believe in is "snake oil?"

I bought my Jays CDT3 MK3 through Alvin and he is a first rate man to do business with...very helpful and really concerned with your overall satisfaction! Thank you Alvin!!!

Hi @alvin1118

I’m intrigued by the Tai Hang. A couple questions:

- can it be placed near other equipment, or do you recommend a further distance to avoid any interference?

- the images show the device with silver ’pucks’ underneath the attached footers. does the Tai Hang come with these pucks?

- for shipments to Canada, what carrier to you use, and are there other taxes beyond the fee at purchase?

Thanks,

JAMES.

@alvin1118

One other question:  does the US plug model come in the Grey finish, or only Silver?

Thanks,

JAMES.

Alvin, to be clear based on your description posted above…

”It’s a high-current power enhancer capable of delivering up to 60A instantaneously (though it’s ultimately limited by the 15-20A capacity of the wall socket).

*Question; So each plug on the back of the TaiHang will deliver 15A per outlet even when all 4 outlets are in use? Thus 60A in total assuming the wall outlet is giving 15 A capacity?

Thank you,
