AC / DC - What are you using? Dissapointed by ....


When I got my system up they way I wanted it to be, many told me to try all sorts of conditioners, filters, regenerators and so on......some made a significant difference on they way my system sounded. In fact my Ayre preamp sounded different and so did my Wilsons and I did not like that! Tried about 18 different pieces some costing me up to 2k and returned all of them.
Ended up keeping one of them that actually did not do anything other that to just crystallize what I already had by keeping the sonic signature and trades of my sound system. I went with Richard Gray’s 1200. What are you guys using?

Thanks

Can you describe how to scope the AC? I bought a used oscilloscope last year (I should get an award for being able to spell it)for adjusting the gains and testing clipping in my car system. I would love to test the AC.

If needed you could send it to my email.
All I can say is the original PS Audio power plants gave my system that late night listening sense of ease any time I listened. It was night and day (no pun intended) and a regenerator of A/C is the only way to go vs. cleaning up "dirty" A/C power. After owning Tice and others in the past, it was better to use nothing than them. Even though Krell states not to use anything on their amps, I am sorry but the P1200 doesn't restrict anything from my 300S and definitely sounds less solid state and more like tubes to my ears. I never used any footers under mine either until I read on the PS site and that was another noticeable improvement to the Power Plant. I have been using them for 8 years now and will not listen without them.
I got my Audience Adept Response and like it. The top end of my system is smoother and I notice more detail. The bass may be a bit tighter. Most reviewers say that the tonal balance does not change much but some say the Adept Response may give you a lighter sound, I had the opposite effect where there seems to be less energy in the high end and the sound may be a touch warmer. The main difference is I notice the music more.

Thumbs up!

BTW FWIW read the recent rave reviews on this model in TAS Stereophile and a few other publications. Most say it is the best out there...
