I have an eTP60 sitting on a shelf, yes it isn't an NCF, nicely built but didn't add anything to benefit the SQ. . Likewise, no benefit from using an NCF Clearline power conditioner

"If a power strip doesn’t change sound quality, it’s a win!" No kidding. My point re: the e TP60 was contrasting @stereo5’s comment on the eTP80 "... and very dynamic"
As far as the NCF Clearline goes my point was that it in fact does nothing that either the company or the reviews suggest; and I'm not alone in that user assessment. Net net, I wouldn't go out of my way purchasing one of their distributors just because it has NCF designation

@facten I get it and I’m with you on that. Power conditioning is a really strange space to explore. I stopped bothering with it and just get components that have a very solid power supply design and use best quality power cables I can afford. Dedicated lines for my system helped a ton as well. But…as strange as it sounds, the GTX-D NCF Rhodium outlets improved sound quality and lowered noise floor. So those I can definitely recommend. However, I tread with caution as too much Rhodium is too much of a good thing. I sold all my rhodium power cables. Given the Furutech e-TP609 NCF is a power distribution unit, aka power strip, if it doesn’t harm anything and the purpose is to get more outlets, it’s really not a bad deal. |
