PS Audio Juice Bar

it sounds like an extension cord; i.e., it's only as good as the cord you use to plug it into an outlet (the supplied cord is pretty wimpy). the quality of the outlet, of course, also affects the juicebar's sonic signature. the price of the juice bar is pretty fair ($200), considering that it has 3 power port outlets that retail for $50 each (these are replated hubbells). you can find discounts on all ps gear, BTW. -cfb

Hey,

I got the Juicebar for about a week. My intention was to get rid of my line conditioner, and hook a Virtual Dynamic cord from wall to Juicebar, so all my components will benefits from VD's mechanical filtering. My cheat doesn't really work. The components sounds much better when the VD cords are directly connected to them.

I have no complaints about the Juicebar. I guess that's all you can say about them. They are not constricting no sonic signatures that I am aware of.

If you really need a power strip, go with the Ensemble MegaPower Point. I REALLY like mine. By the time you buy the PS Audio Juice Bar and a good power cable for it, you'll be better off to buy a used Ensemble. You can usually find a used one for $500 or less.

I used a $39 Wireworld for a couple of weeks waiting for a Juice Bar. Though I used identical power cables with each, there was no comparison, the Juicebar sounded better (and the plugs stayed put rather than being loose).

Viggen- does that mean you are still using your line conditioner? explain
