Puritan vs Nordost Power Cable
From their website: Entry into our elite Studio Master range starts with the PSM136. 39 filtration elements progressively coax noise out from the power cycle. DC offset correction is standard and each of the 6 x 15 Amp outputs incorporates its own dedicated filter section guaranteeing not only pristine power but avoiding connected components cross-contaminating each other. When only the very best will do. The crowning achievement of all of our research: the PSM156 Studio Master. 58 filter elements incrementally remove harmful noise from the mains supply but leaving the full force and power intact. The filter sections individual to each 15 Amp output station seen on the PSM136 are doubled in efficiency further improving the sound from each connected component and providing twice the prevention of cross contamination. Also available in a 12 outlet version PSM1512. Their site has a retail price list: http://www.puritanaudiolabs.com/buying/retail-price-list/ |
Last year I had electrical upgrades to the tune of 10k done to my home , using a power line noise analyzer the Ac noise was horrendous everywhere through out my home. Just prior to the work done I had bought a Puritan 136 on a 30 day home trial money refunded to replace a Ac regenerator that did nothing . Using a line analyzer plugged into the 136 the numbers dropped significantly which translated into a lower noise floor of course with my front end components plugged into the conditioner. Finally something that actually works . Anyway I kept putting off the electrical work then finally having it done my family noticed better picture clarity on their TVs and I noticed a much more coherent and far more enjoyable improvement in playback sound quality across the board . Finally speaking of sources of noise Craig you should seriously consider dumping your Mac for a dedicated server / streamer the upgrade in sound quality will really make you wonder why you used your computer for such a use , the leap in sound quality will amaze you ... |

Thanks for the interesting post. Also using Nordost V2 as my power cable. I would appreciate some help with a couple of questions: 1. Did you buy direst from Puritan, or from a distributor, and if so are you in the U.S? 2. Does Puritan have a trial period? |
