@stevebohnii No problem, I use a Furman IT-REFERENCE 15i 15-amp power conditioner. I’m sure there’s a break in period during which it will improve, just like nearly everything else in our systems. The increase in resolution and "rich musicality" you mentioned that were part of the marketing material were already present immediately, though.
One thing I really liked was that it fixed an issue I had. I applied the High Fidelity Cables NPS-Q45t contact enhancer to literally every contact in my system a couple months ago, and it gave me significantly greater top end resolution and extension, really showing what my tweeters can do, but it also added enough energy in that freq range that it skewed the overall tonality of the sounds towards a bright and leaner sound. It was much worse when I first applied and after 48 hours, it seemed to suddenly improve and return a certain degree of my rich and full sound, but the issue never resolved completely.
I just kept being patient with it, as I was enjoying the feeling that my tweeters were more active, like they were finally fully engaged and revealing all that they are capable of. As soon as I installed the SR Purple Duplex, it was like a sudden ingress of energy back into the mid-range and low end, without sacrificing any of the newly acquired information coming through the top end!
I have really no idea how this crap works, but the combination of these two tweaks, at a cost of about $650, is very with the money. My system is presenting music and resolving details on a higher level now
P.S. I’m only responding because I actively checked to see if anyone responded here. When you @ someone, if the text doesn’t turn blue, it won’t work to notify them. You have to type the @ symbol, then select the username from the drop-down list, and then it will fill in the name with blue text, which is a hyperlink to their account profile.
