Transparent Power Isolator vs RGPC

AGon Comrades,

I'm torn. I'm torn because since adding TA Ref cabling to my system, my system has been transformed. And I'm not going back. I've even decided to swap out all my power cords for TA PCs. On the other handAnd even though I've happily lived with my RGPC 1200C in my system for some time, I wonder if the synergy between all the TA cabling and the TA Power Isolator would improve system performance. I've done as much research as I could about the TA Power Isolator, but there isn't much out there. Has anyone had any experience with these two? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello Saint519-

I have spent time w/ both. The Richard Gray really shines w/ A/V or HT set-ups. I still use a Sony XBR CRT TV- glorious picture.
Considering your investment in TA cables / cords- audition a TA power isolator/conditioner in your system. You have nothing to lose. Keep me posted. Happy listening!

Thanks Jafant. Could you give me your thoughts on the TA Power Isolator Performance?

From a tech standpoint I do not know how it compares to the RGPC gear. I do know that the RGPC products were designed for those of us in the deep South where thunderstorms are dominate. Furthermore, the products were especially designed for the greater New Orleans area, where there are natural elements and a terrible power grid.

I would contact TA directly. Ask for Brad- he is most helpful and can entertain your query.
Tell me, about the gear in your system Saint519?
