Power Line Pillow

Hi,

I am one of those people who bought two BC86 MK2 and didn't like it very much.

I did install these at almost every conceiveable outlet in my apartment including the outlets on my powerbar.

The only difference I heard is a very minor subdueing in the higher frequency that made the music sound less live.

*shrug*

As in all things, personal taste matters more than anything. I find the BC86 removes unnatural grain and other noise from the sound that certainly makes the highs less. But it is less of a bad thing for my taste. To my ears the reduced noise improves "space" between instruments and the imaging.

Viggens comments are still just as valid as mine. Loose (Steve's) taste may be not be like mine either. Viggen may also be blessed with cleaner power, or has gear that has some built in filtering in the power supply. The Blue Circle BC3 Galatea Preamp basically has a power pillow built in.

If you are unsure whether to dish out $100 for a BC86 (two are better), then try to borrow some. I personally am not afraid to resell something I don't like. The small loss is worth the convenience of trying something at home in my system.

There is also the similar Audio Prism things for $25 each. I find they work better sharpening a video image, than improving audio. You really need to buy 4, which is about the same performance as one BC86. The one advantage is you can spread them around the house/apartment to more outlets.

From personal experience I find many audiophile systems have highs not usually present in a live setting. I have friends who swear their systems sound like live music; but I know for a fact they have not attended a live music concert in 5 years or more. So how do they really know? For me I hear anywhere from 2.5 to 10 hours a week of live music of the type I play at home.

Y'know Sugar, I've had a couple of those "Audio Prism things" (QuietLines) in use for a few years now, but I was never convinced they made any difference that I could detect. After I moved last year, I just sort of reflexively reinstalled them when I set up the system in the new room (they're so cheap, I'd never bothered with reselling them). A few months went by, and one day I noticed I had actually only installed one of them and then forgot about the other one. So I fished it out and did a little experimenting figuring it was time again, since my system was now not only in a different house, but also had been upgraded quite a bit during the meantime. And what do you know? Lo and behold, I discovered they now make a slight but perceptible improvement in overall cleanliness and ease - and that despite the fact that I'm now using a better PLC and PC's than before. Just shows to go ya...

Basically, I dont have any idea about power line pillow but I am sure I saw it on My Pillow Coupons last week when I was purchasing my stuff. During searching, I saw something like this. Search there hope you will find there.
