Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End

Wow, great to hear you found a product that brought an improvement. Did you try just the front-end alone into the Haley? .... and did you try just the CAT amp into the Haley? I would be curious to know where much of the benefit came or if it was fairly equal in both places. The reason I ask is that I have a pair of JL-3's and I too have heard about the RSA's possibly working with large amps. In my case, I would get a Haley for each amp and another PLC for the front end.

The BPT products are good and while I preferred the Haley to the BPT I auditioned I do like the BPT power strip I have that uses Oyaide SWO-GX outlets. I plug the strip into the Haley and then plug may analog gear into the strip.

Just saw this thread and read it to see if anyone would recommend running springs. I was thrilled to see that you found exactly what I found...WOW. I had tried a full (and very expensive) Shunyata set up with 5 pythons and a Hydra 8. I plugged that Harley in and never looked back. I will still say it was the best single improvement to my system so far. And I already has 5 dedicated 20amp lines at the time. I now have 3 dukes(power amp, sub, and digital front end) and a Jaco (theater). There is no compression whatsoever on the high current devices and nothing but great microdynamics on the front end. There may be better conditioners out there, but I think everyone should at least try the Harley before choosing a conditioner as the price of entry is fairly reasonable.

Jafox, I did not try a lot of permutations. I started off with the front end in the Haley and the JL2 direct. I would say this provided most of the benefit. I then begrudgingly plugged the CAT JL2 into the Haley - no harm done! At least that I could tell. I did not notice much of an improvement either when plugging in the CAT - I think Ken uses an isolation transformer in the power supply and suspect the CAT has very good built in conditioning - but it is nice to have everything plugged into one box with a common ground for all the pieces.

Question about the difference between the Jaco and Haley. Is there a sonic difference between the two or is the Jaco only larger with more outlets? Trying to figure out the price difference between the two.
