Dekay- I got mine through Insight-1-800-467-4448. Don't know why or how, but it worked quite well, I used it on some pretty high end gear and it honestly sounded better than the Bybee I was using. I've subsequently purchased a PS Audio, but for $120 the APC was fabulous.
The best upgrade I ever made!
On 12-23 I read a thread here about wiring. One poster(E&lssr) suggested using a isolation transformer and posted the link. I checked it out as my local high end dealer has a quieting transformer hooked up to his ac for his high end room and it sounds incredible. To make a long story short, I ordered one from C & H sales in Pasadena. I hooked it up and was blown away by the amount of improvement. I already have a dedicated ac line to my hifi and that made a nice improvement in detail. The ultra isolator transformer has taken my system to a level such that I can't get away from it for very long! The musicality and naturalism as well as increased detail that is now present has raised my emotional involvement in the music to a level I never thought possible. Every other tweak or upgrade I have ever done has produced only a small fraction of the improvement of the ultra isolator. I will leave the link and name and phone number of the dealer so everyone can check it out. If you go to their site, from the home page go to search. Enter in isolator and then click on any model to view. All of them will come up. I chose the str2001 5k watt 42 amp model. It is 110/120 volt in and out so wiring is a snap: Three wires(hot, neutral, ground) in and out. If you have 40 amps going in the transformer, you will need to have a sub box wired in after the transformer to take the amperage down to a reasonable level for your wiring and outlets(20 amp circuits for example). By the way, it was cheap too... $300 plus shipping. The dealer is C and H Sales, 2176 e. Pasadena, Ca 91107 ph 626-325-9465 or 800-325-9465. Web address www.candhsales.com. ***DISCLAIMER*** If you are not confident in doing this kind of wiring, please have an electrician do it(but don't ask them if this makes a difference as most will say no!). Also, I am not affiliated with the isolator manufacturer or the dealer..........I am just very enthusiastic about this and thought everyone should know. Cds that were bright are now very listenable, cds that were good are now great and cds that I thought were great are now unbelievable!!! WOWWWWW!! Tim
