looking to audition Running Springs P C--


Live in Chicago--interested to see if anyone has contact for selling above and allowing me to trial in my home with current equipment--and or, if you have a unit, I would compensate you for your time etc to simply plug a unit in, and see what it does for my system. Currently, CJ with Vandersteen Quatros--RS is highly recommended, however I do not want to lay out the cash until I have an idea of what I might be buying. Thanks---

Great person to deal with!
I am up on the NW side (Edison Park) and use a RS Jaco in my system. Easy enough to unplug for a quick try if you are near by.
I am the largest Running Springs dealer in North America and can assure everyone that they are not going out of business. I have very recently delivered 4 units (in the last 30 days), shipped from the factory. I also have one of the new flagship Nicolai units here and it is awesome.

RTI (the capacitor business and parent company of RSA) was purchased by ATI Technologies (a large US based technology and manufacturing company). ATI has maven capacitor and RSA manufacturing to Pensilvania and appears to be very committed to delivering units and expanding the range.

I have sold Audience and RSA side by side and can tell you that there is no comparison. A less expensive RSA will outperform a more expensive Audience but I will leave the final verdict on that to anyone interested making a comparison.

Incidentally, RTI supplies caps to most of the major high-end companies (Focal, Wilson, Avalon, Aesthetix, and many others are on that) so is they and RSA were to go away, it would create and amazing void in the industry as a whole.
I have four Running Springs conditioners in my system and love them. Unlike many conditioners that I tried, the Running Springs do only good and no bad - my super power amp (600 watt sliding bias class A) is not limited at all with the Dmitri, only great sonic improvements.
