Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer

What a surprise after installing the Taihang in my system,, in a word, amazing.  Stage depth clarity was amoung one of the first things I notice.  My system consists of tubes pre and power amps, with a digital and analog front end.  Tubes as we know exhibit a second harmonic noise distortion which is a given and something we live with as it’s our perception as being more musical.  Dirty power can add more nastiness to this by way of unfiltered AC.  With the addition of the Taihang it has made all the background information much more clearer.  My speakers are fairly high resolving so was able to take advantage of this additional gain the Taihang give me.  Leading edges from instruments started and stopped more precisely still retaining musicality. Black background noise seemed non existent as we like saying but in this case it really does without straining to not hear.  So clean power can do all this, seems to be!  Also will mention as in some cases experienced with power amps, I sensed no loss in dynamics or compression which is one of the biggest concerns when implementing such products.  This in my first day of listening.  So again I’ll go back to my original statement, amazing!   Alvin’s collaboration as he calls it, has some magic inside this beautifully crafted box.

Hey friends,

 

Thank you @daytrader! Appreciate you sharing your experience on the AG forum!

The Taihang is a collaboration between Vinshine Audio and Kinki Studio—a project we've been working on for quite some time.

 

It’s a high-current power enhancer capable of delivering up to 60A instantaneously (though it's ultimately limited by the 15-20A capacity of the wall socket). I’ve connected my source, DAC, preamp, power amp (monoblocks), and all my other gear through the Taihang, and it performs exceptionally well. I don’t notice any compression, bass loss, or anything negative. On the contrary, the Taihang brings out more nuances, details, and a clearer instrument placement with a more defined soundstage.

 

Taihang has the surge protection built-in. When it's powered on, the front panel indicator LED lit. 

 

 

Happy listening! 

Many thanks,

Alvin Chee

@classicrockfan you of course can have and express your opinion, but I feel like @alvin1118 is one of the good guys in our small and dying hobby - and that's coming from someone who's never purchased directly from Vinshine or any related products that Vinshine has ever sold.

toro3, my experience as well with Alvin, though I do own the highly praised Denafrips Pontus2. 
 

classicrockfan, I believe with new product designs one is better off to listen before they speak.  But of course you are able to believe as you wish.

@classicrockfan you base that opinion on what? I get it - you don't believe in power conditioning, that cables make a difference, and that re-clocking can be helpful in the digital domain. Everything you don't believe in is "snake oil?"
