Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner

My PE order from Allan Maher was sent out last Friday after waiting several weeks. I ordered 2 of them.

I hope to have them within the next few days.

After the Noise Destoyer experience and knowing that Alan Maher units also take about a week to break in , I may put them on a Video only circuit for the first week before trying them in my Audio system.

I am sorry for the delay of your order. We had a part problem. We ordered cases back on July 1 that took an extra week due to a back order. When the cases finally arrived we lost 60% of them because they were broken during transit. When our next order arrived all pre-orders were filled. According to our records you placed your order on July 13, 2007 (order shipped July 27, 2007). At the time you placed the order you were informed of the part delay. Your comment of several weeks is a gross exaggeration.

If you plan on installing the PE into the audio circuit I suggest you do it right out of the box. The PE itself does not break in. The circuit must adjust to the filter, and it can take up to several days pending the size of the circuit and the size wire used in the wall. Every time you reinstall the filter you will experience the same circuit adjustment.

Jen, chill...
I received the units today, thank you.
I wasn't really complaining about the wait and I do not think it was a gross exaggeration. It took several weeks to get it.

Thanks for the info on installing the unit.

Hey Ozzy. Give us your impressions of the PE from time to time.

A slightly different observation. I too have the Noise Destroyer and have gone back and forth from liking it to thinking it may suck some air out of my system.

My conclusion as follows:
When I just leave the Noise Destroyer in my system, (plugged into the wall), I find music is wonderfully grain free with a huge sound field with lots of air. When I do rapid A-B comparisons I find it sucks some of the air out of the outer reaches of my sound stage along with any grain or hash. Conversely when I listen to my system without the Noise Destroyer for a few days I find some recordings have some hash in the upper registers but I do notice more air.

I think this unit takes time to settle into a system and then if you feel your system sounds dark then that is the time to take it out. Factors that could contribute to this effect are- dark sounding electronics, speakers, and cables. If you have boxes on all your cables and warm electronics then the Noise Destroyer may not be your cup of tea. If on the other hand you do not use a line conditioner, have open and transparent sounding electronics, and transparent "sounding" cables then the Noise Destroyer may be all the line conditioner you'll ever need. With or without the Noise Destroyer my system’s sound is holographic in the extreme with air and special cues that are holographic. As with everything else it boils down to system compatibility and personal preference.
