Enacoms for bright speakers?


Love to try them on Thiel speakers:
enacom ad
cdc
Thanks, Davehrab. I don't have the Thiels but for my taste, always liked them except for the brightness. Just no good with Naim, Krell, or even, most recently with McIntosh/Arcam system. So between so many auditions, I don't think it's RFI etc.
Maybe these things are mainly capacitors which would attenuate H-F signals. Probably not very precise in fixing a particluar problem as you mentioned.

Sean, do they work as an AC filter? I saw your thread when searching for "enacom" and noticed you had the Noise Sniffer and wall wart quiet lines. Any preference between the two?
I'm thinking Audio Magic mini-stealth or exact power conditioner from www.av123.com
Well Dave, first of all I am glad, as a Thiel owner, to find another Audiogoner who does not hold the opinion that most Thiel models are inherently 'bright'. I've addressed this in other posts, but to put it briefly, what I often think is being preceived when people make this claim is non-optimal system matching or speaker set-up. A large part of this is due, IMO, to exactly the quality you mention, resolution, which Thiels possess prodigiously, whatever other faults one may care to lay at their feet. *If* there was a problem with RFI/EMI infecting the chain with the speaker cable as the point of entry (I know, unlikely), and *if* the Enacoms were effective at reducing it, then a Thiel speaker would undoubtedly be able to let one hear the difference. (None of which is to say you might not be correct in suspecting that Cdc's problem could be more fundamental than that. Or, maybe he simply doesn't like Thiels - though I would note that Jim Thiel, I believe, does employ some examples of the Krell amplification Cdc mentions as part of his 'development amp' arsenal.)

P.S. - Gloria, you're a trooper! I almost feel bad soliciting responses from Dave, as I can only picture you being put to work further (typing, that is, for those who don't know). Care to share some of your own thoughts with us sometime? :-)
Are the Enacom AC's shunt devices like AudioPrism's Quiet Lines? Any opinions on whether this general type of device works at the outlet and/or power conditioner/filter level?
