Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together

@bemused , I have been a pretty hard core enthusiast in more than 20 yrs and have far more tweaks and power conditioning gear that could be considered as "normal". For example, I have more power conditioning gear on my regrigerator or my freezer than other entusiasts have in a large stereo system. So yes, it makes a huge difference. Actually, I have tweaked my systems so heavily that it is easier for me to hear upgrades I do on other ac lines, like the ones for refrigerator, freezer, ventilation etc. I don’t say that should be normal, but that is how it is in my house, even with dedicated lines, upgraded fuses in my meter board etc.
So I don’t use one brand of power conditioning gear for these devices (refrigerator and freezer), but from many brands,typ. Ansuz, Nordost, ADD Powr, High Fidelity, Furutech and Telos. I also have Darkz damping feet for several of these, Furutech distributors and high end power cords - and even Shakti stones behind them... go figure! Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldn’t change it:) If I remove one piece I easily hear it in my stereo.

@justubes2, I find the Nordost QWave to be stronger than the Qv2, it is also supposed to work not only in lower bass region as the Qv2, but also upper bass. The QSine is kind of invisible, but just makes everything more transparent, also in higher frequencies, gives more air and bigger soundstage. It is easy also to see with video, the picture gets crystal clear. I find it to be better and more neutral than Qk1. It can remind a little of ADD Powr, but still they are different, hard to explain... IMO, both QWave and QSine do not limit dynamics at all. I have never tried Purons.

@cappaccino

I too have most of power tweeks as yourself. For Nordost, 2x QX4 and also have several Addpowr symphony's.

Also found them of some high end cord are needed which gave very nice results and could not replace with cheaper cord.

The Ansuz active plug ins gave what you describe of the qsine and wave. I coyls use 2 at most and openess starts to thin out the mids. Are the new Nordost plug ins similar in effect?

I have have them scattered around, even on other power phase lines to good effect. 

Recently added a good number of purons, also work well on lines elsewhere, no neccessarily at the plug to fridges, but i believe they had the same effect elsewhere, probably  the same phase.

The purons are very different to the addpowrs, Ansuz plugins and found them more like the effect of the later HFC helix + plugins.

So was curious about the nordost. Do the nordost work more in the music room environment or anywhere around? I did not try the qv2.

justubes2, I see you have been playing with various plugs too:)
Too much Ansuz on the stereo ac line can make bass too heavy in my experience, especially the older version of the Sparkz. Their new Sparks TC3 is much better than previous generations. But they are very effective noise killers, and the older versions work very well also on other power lines. I have both TC2 and TC3 plugs in my home theater also.

For Nordost QWave/QSine/Qv2/Qk1 they also are good on other lines, but I think they are products you typically prioritize to have on your stereo ac line. And here I prefer to have as many as possible of them. They do no harm, only good. Same with ADD Powr, especially the bigger units, but some of their plugs work well on other lines. And the same with Telos QNR and Macro N. For the Mini-Q I find it better to have them on other lines since they are not quite in the same league as their bigger brothers.

I have put ADD Powr Symphony Pros where I earlier had Nordost Qx2/Qx4 so the Qx2/Qx4 units I have are no primarily serving on other lines. I have them on both my refrigerator and freezer where they do a really good job:)

I am familiar with the HFC helix plugs. I have plenty of them and really love them, so what you say about Puron sounds very promising - and tempting! I found a US dealer who could deliver with Schuko plug. We´ll see...

For the Ansuz, have a TC and another TC2, adding 2 x TC2 could not work.

Have a number of Symphony’s / pro and the new versions to all around on good DC power which propels there performance.

I do not have any more outlet iny listenimg room, therefore hesistating to try the Nordost qwaves.

Do you recommed the TC3 over them.

Somehow, the QX2/Qx4 has different effect although much the same as the Symphony’s. It is either the thick housing or the algorythm is just different, more heft and dynamics.

I have the gen 1 telos and past 2 units did not bring much more.

These tweeks are critical on good power and cords.

I had to remove all the 1st version HFC as they were great for a start if only having a few, not more than 3 as they are just too clean sounding.

What do the TC3 do above the rest?

I do have 8 puron scattered around, i do prefer the effect, very visceral and present sounding compared to others and had nice improvements with each additional unit which surprised me not sounding overly clean.

I too cannot imagine taking these tweeks out, actually if 1 or 2 are somehow not on, i find something amiss!

The Ansuz Sparkz TC3 and Nordost QWave are very different. Think of Wave closer to what you already know about Nordost. The Ansuz is mostly about bass enrichment/enhancement. And I find them to be very effective on other power lines to kill noise. 

Btw, there are two plugs I have tried that I have ruled out;
- Furutech Clear Line - seems to be good initially, but when you add a lot of other good products I found them to become a bottleneck.

- Chord power array - far to strong and negative impact on dynamics

I have just tried a new SR UEF AC plug, it seems rather good, but don't have enough experience with it yet.

I use iFi iPowerX power supply on my Add Powr Symphony Pros. What do you use?
