Hi, I currently use the Monster 2000 (or 2500?? I forget) line conditioner, and I was wondering how different...if at all...the VansEvers reference 85 is from the Monster. Are they worth $700 more? Has anyone made the comparison, or a similar upgrade? thanks, Phil
Vansevers is Mozart; Monster is Salieri..... In addition to the above comments, you will also notice a much cleaner darker background / lower noise floor; faster treble. Really no comparison.
Thanks for the info. Has anyone compared the Vans Evers Ref 85 to a PS Audio power station, or the Hydra? Are they compareable, or are the PS and Hydra units at another level?
By the way...I know the Hydra doesn't have any surge protection. What about the PS300? Do they offer any surge protection?
Salieri is used in the movie as a device to simplify the story line. There is a scene where Salieri sais to Mozart "You are the greatest composer known to me". This was actually what Haydn said to Mozart's father "Your son is the greatest composer know to me". Most of the things in the movie have their basis in truth, however the person really involved in the actual case was someone other than Salieri; even the person who commissioned the Requiem. I do not remember his name, but that person really did have the habit of commissioning works and then would try to pass them off as his creation.
