Puritan PSM156

I considered getting one but the price you pay here is more than if you bought it directly, which I don't know if you can as there's a stateside dealer. 

I went for the Audioquest Niagara 1200 and couldn't be happier, at what would amount to around half the price.

Here is a very favorable review from 6moons: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/puritan/

Hope that helps.

All the best,

Amazing conditioner.
Dead quiet, neutral sounding, with excellent current delivery. Powers my 5 channel VK-6200 for HT/2channel with no stifling or shrinking of the Soundstage in any dimension.

I have 2 in my system.
Puritanlabs have since come out with a 12 outlet model, the 1512, which = 2×156 in 1 chassi.

How are you enjoying your Modwright 205?

Chazzy007,
 Thats what started this whole power conditioning thing. I was able to purchase a Phillips 5R4GYS from someone on Ebay. The day I installed it into the Modwright power supply for the Oppo 205, I was blown away by how quiet and amazing the sound was coming out of the speakers. Really blown away. I could not believe that this tube was able to do this. Well, it lasted for that listening period. Ever since then it has gone back to where it was before installing this tube. Don’t get me wrong, still very good, but not like that. I have since checked the tube with my tube tester and it tests great. I can only assume that this great sound was due to a lack of noise, perhaps AC noise. Maybe even the time of day. So that one short period of time started me on this AC noise journey. I am currently using a Furman, I believe its a 20 PFI. 

Thanks,
Andy

Typically tube break in can take 200 hours or more.
During that time you will have periods of good sound/better sound/back to worse/better again/back to worse and all sorts of in between until it’s finally broken in.

How many hours do you have on your rectifier?

 I know tubes need a break in, I did not know they can sound better, worse then better. I thought they just get progressively where they are going. I have only 20 hours on the tube. Maybe I will leave it on during the weekend to see what happens. Thanks for the heads up.
