Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?

Anyone know of any issues of compatibility with Transparent Power cords and Richard Gray equipment? I've heard some claims that Transparent power cords are current limiting thereby defeating the Richard Gray parallel power delivery. Others claim that the network used on Transparent cords does not interface well with Richard Gray equipment. Thoughts?

I have tried MANY power conditioners and there was none worse than Richard Gray...absolutely ruined the sound.

Just curious, are you plugging the power cords IN the RG unit? It was my understanding that the RG power conditioners work on the CIRCUIT wherever they are plugged in...In other words, you don't need to plug anything IN the RG piece.

i don't know what you guys are talking about. I have a RG 400 Mk1 unit for close to 10 yrs now & find that it is very non-intrusive on the sound in my system. I plug my pre & power directly into the wall into a 20A dedicated line & only my PS Audio PS300 is connected to the RG400 Mk1 unit. It does not seem to degrade the sound at all.... I bought the RG400 Mk1 unit to power only my front-end components; the intention was to never plug in the pre or the power.

I have been a big fan of this brand too. That is why I didn't understand the earlier comments.
