Adcom 515 verse Monster 3600 or 2600 power conditi

I have no doubt that what you heard was a deterioration of sound quality, however, unless you actually measure the cause it could well have been some other interaction rather than current limiting. To say it was currently limiting in your application is at best a good guess, which is a place to start to measure.....but it really is only a guess and not a fact.

You resolved your problem by removing the component and replacing it with something else. In the end, pleasing your ear but actually not determining what was causing the poor interaction. Which doesn't really matter on a 1 on 1 case basis as long as it works for you but should not be extrapolated to others with unverifiable root causes.

Nope,Ive had good luck with one!

Well, call me a Neanderthal, I will always judge a component with my ear. From my experience and knowledge, I can usually locate the problem/bottleneck with my ear. It's not very difficult to hear components starving for current ... roll some PCs.

From my experience and knowledge, I can usually spot the nonsense emanating from people imagining things...like "current starvation"...but then there are a lot of people who will go to great lengths to justify a point even in the face of facts being elsewhere, and those people are ready to defend their supposed "golden ears" to make a useless point...roll some big, thick PCs indeed...it could make up for obvious shortcomings elsewhere.

Dude, do what works for you. It's your money. I have NO problems you guys are happy with 515.

Like I said, I'm just sharing my experience ... and yes, I do believe PCs are as important as any components in my system. Thickness is not a requirement but just SQ!
