Power Supply


Has anyone used a battery power station for your system? Has anyone compared one to a high end power conditioner?

My solar panels and Tesla Powerwall were just turned on today. With no 'grid input' /battery only, the improvements in detail, dynamics, imaging, etc were all improved like a pre-amp or cartridge upgrade.

FWIW, TAS just posted a review on one of the StromTank units yesterday. I haven’t yet read it myself but it’s on my list to get through today. You might find it interesting.

Ok, editing this post, I did read the review. While the reviewer mentions having experience with many other power solutions, he doesn’t make any comparisons against the StromTank. I wish he did! Looking past that, his experience is mimicking mine.

Perhaps what he mentions towards the end in terms of the plusher sound is where the PowerCell 14 is improving upon in terms of dynamics and current delivery. Regardless, being fortunate enough to have both on my floor is a blessing, and I don’t think I can live without either of them.

Batteries have chargers. Unless you disconnect the charger you are running your charger you are running off the charger power supply which is usually not of high quality since the battery doesn’t require a quality power supply.

The power source is solar and the powerwall doesn't get power from the 'grid'.

  Maybe it is a real improvement but often people in your situation are experiencing confirmation bias.

You don't know me, nor do I know you, so you should think before you judge someone else's experiences.

People in your situation. That's Archie Bunker  right there.
