Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?

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.

are entire audio club has shed themselves of this garbage.

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

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.

Bombaywalla....I'm glad you're happy with your system, however, the Richard Gray stuff just ruined MY system. I both plugged the preamp in or not....daisy chained them or not...the results were always the same. The sound was MUCH better without them in MY system.

@Stringreen: what are you using now? Which RG did you have?
