Amp ac cable connection
Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not the 20 amp power cord form my amp should be plugged into my synergistic research conditioner or directly into the wall? Hearing mixed reviews

"Power conditioners restrict power flow. That is just the nature of the beast. I don’t care who makes it they all work basically the same way. Get rid of it." Simply wrong. Synergistic Research Powercell 10/12 does not restrict current and works completely differently than other "power conditioners". It also does not perform surge protection. Nor will any claimed surge protector/conditioner prevent damage from lightning strikes. The place for a surge protector is on your TV cable line (only, unless you like choking the current flow to your audio system). psinyc, which Powercell model do you have? |
Based on my knowledge, there are two power conditioner brand which are "NON-CURRENT LIMITED". Tara Labs (PM2, Ad6, IDAT) and Synergistic Research powercell. The rest of PCs whatever the brand is, they are not suitable for Power amps. Tara labs Power C. has this Surge protection feature. I tried both in my amps and even in cascade mode, the result is wonderful. I am still using Tara labs Ad6 with my amps. cheers ... |
Dave, I agree with you ... SR powercell is very good for power amps. I regret to have sold my Powercell. My personal impression was that it brought more brightness and a little bit of softening bass to my system. But overall, it was pretty good with modified MPCs! Tara labs Ad6, is excellent on distinguishing different instrument and offer better edge transition on notes. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue24/tara_labs.htm Tara labs stopped making those PCs because people thought those PM2 or Ad6 are just Power strips!! Other competitor created less efficient big & almost empty and visually attractive boxes with much less circuitry named Power conditioner to impress customers. One would say marketing effects ... http://www.10audio.com/diy_power_conditioner.htm Once a while one could find those Tara labs PM2 or Ad6 on ebay or here @AQ, highly recommended... especially for power amps! cheers... |
