Correction on previous post. I am going to test the power connection from the amp to the wall vs amp to Furman PC.
Power Cables and Power Conditioner
I bought my first PS Audio (PSA) outlet as well as a PSA power cable. I had intended to use the power cable to go from the new wall outlet to the conditioner but when I got home I realized the Furman
ELITE-15 DMi
has a fixed power cable. I thought dang it and was going to return the PSA cable but then decided to give it a try. So I ran the PSA cable from the Furman to my Rogue Audio Preamp. I swear I think there was a moderate improvement to the overall image. But of course this could be placebo and I have not done a bunch of with/without listening but am happy so far.
I assume the Furman filter is doing its job and adding the PSA power cord to the Pre is preserving this current as best it can. I would like to add another cord for the DAC and the power amp. But thought I would float this probe to see what other people do in similar situations as this.

@John_G - re: What are "MRI outlets"? Does it make a difference to have them in at every point on the circuit, or just where the audio equipment is plugged in?MRI Outlets are a step up from Hospital grade outlets - they have superior clamping and they have no magnetic parts. Take Five Audio sells a cryo'd version of the Pass and Seymour MRI outlet https://www.takefiveaudio.com/categories/214-pass-seymour-cryo-treated-15a20a-wall-outlets I use them in my wall outlet that the system plugs into and the outlets in my DIY audio distribution box They are simply a very good outlet - much like those offered by companies like Furutech, but significantly more affordable than the Furutech and Oyaide versions. I have not compared them to anything other than the normal outlets installed by builders. The are much better than a standard outlet. Regards - Steve |
