Wire vs. Vibration vs. Power Cond. is best?

Cdc,

Now I understand where you are coming from.

I would say the room treatment would give you the most improvement. For example, a pair of tube traps behind the speakers can usually improve the sound far beyond any component upgrade for the same price. You don’t even need to a/b compare the sound. You will know the improvement as soon as you put the tube traps in. It is that obvious.

The next on my list would be a power regenerator, not power conditioner. I pluged all my front ends to a PP-600. Again, the improvement is obvious, no a/b comparison required.

Some additional thoughts:

Nowadays, almost all high-end speakers come with code feet. And they are cheap. There is no reason not to use them.

In my experiences, unless your equipment is on top of card boxes, vibration control devices give less improvement than power regenerator.

If you have turntable, vibration control is everything.

Does it really matter to an audiophool which affects their music the most? The fact that eacg one does, requires serious attention. These three things are all significant to an audiophool, like myself. I place equal importance on all of them. It's this audio sickness. Remember, your system is as good as it's weakest link. And weakness in any one of these, will affect your sound. How much your music is affected is directly related to your audiophoolishness/mania. I guarentee you'll be happy, beefing up any one of those three. And then you'll be looking to beef up the other two. And then there will be something else. If not, you can always start all over again. Anybody relate to this mania?
happy listening....
