Hello, I recently replaced my mains conditioner, with a high quality power strip.(Oyaide MG).
The sound is now more detailed, dynamics I didn't know I was missing are back, and air and separation have all improved. I am interested if anyone else has gone back to basics? Cheers
Dlcockrum, I agree. I have had some 40 ac power conditioners and have always said the ultimate test is whether after breakin, the music is better once you have removed it. Most fail this test. The SR PowerCell SE certainly did, but more importantly I really missed the realism of the soundstage after it was out.
I just want to add that I have owned two conditioners from different companies with mixed results. One constant remained...they both seemed to soften the presentation somehow-like rounding the edges ( the softening happened at the frequency extremes). I have no idea why this seems to happen with so many conditioners. The only other thing I can I add is that I got better base out of one of them, perhaps due to a lower noise floor. would like to hear others with similar experience.
