Synergistic Research PowerCell, any model, is very good. I get improved dynamics and better frequency extension, but without any brightness or leanness. Definitely not clinical, etched, or lean. However, it seems like you need to use Syn. Research power cords (at a minimum, the one between the PowerCell and the dedicated wall outlet) to get the most from their power conditioners, so the investment can be considerable if you want to go "whole hog". Audience sounds lean compared to other cords and conditioners I have heard. Best bet is to buy used and see what works best in your system.
Power cables and power conditioners
I am looking to improve from the stock cables in my system. I have a Telwire cord at home that I will evaluate and an having a Grover Huffman power cord sent here for evaluation. I am also interested in the Audience power chord e and the Kaplan HE cables. Does anyone have experience with these cables and some thoughts on how they sound. This most particularly applies to the Kaplan cables and the Audience. Once I get my power conditioning and cables broke in I will write a follow up review.
I am wanting to change my power conditioning system. I have dedicated lines and an running a PS Audio p500 I bought 4 or 5 years ago. I do hear the improvement but I hate the limited usage for it and the fact I can not hook up my amplification to it without causing a shut down,( this includes powered sub. I guess if it produced like 2000 watts it be fine. I am more interested in non current limiting devices. Do any of you have experience and opinions on such units as the Audience, Synergistic,Shuynata and the Audio magic conditioners, I guess maybe I should include Running Springs and BPT. What power cables do you use with them if they are not supplied. I am looking for the benefits of conditioning as well as a full bodied musical presentation. (thin and hollow is not quite I want but over blown and very dark is out also. Once again opinions and experience as there is no way to hear these where I live.
