Luca! You told me to set everything to 11! (one louder)
I like everything set to II. I don't actually plug the Grid Protector, or the rest of my gear into power. But I believe I hear purity. (Unless I hum the tune)
The Grid Protector, the EMI Protector and The Allocator By Schnerzinger-In My System and I’m Blown Away

Al, I was using everything to II, you are right. Both for GRID and EMI protectors. And they sounded better to my ears.
Lately I added the Allocator and most of all 4 MULTI GUARDS. These new ones pushed even further the impact on the sound, I found bass too much reinforced and mudded or boomy-like.
It turned out that setting differently the GRID and EMI - once added the MULTI GUARDS - could bring a better result, tonal balance and timber accuracy, speed bass and more coherent reproduction of instruments in general. Still having wonderful realism, don’t worry!
The theoretical calculation is correct but the process is easier, as you don’t need to try them. You just need to try 9 different positions for each of the two units. The manual shows it.
No no, it’s easier as you don’t have to combine each with each. The procedure is to start with the Grid (9) and if you’re through, then the EMI (9 again). After that you’re done.
Each time you do major modifications of positioning of radiation sources you may want to repeat the 9 variations of the EMI, but nothing more.
Perfect. Totally understood. Even better will be when Gideon arrives to set up the loaner Plural Evos he will use his technique to reset mine. Then when my new speakers arrive he’ll be back to do it all over again The final reset will be when the speakers are broken in
My new Allocator is scheduled to arrive the first week of March. Since December I’ve had the chance to use in my system a unit (Allocator Max) kindly borrowed me from my dealer.
Unfortunately tomorrow I have to give it back, so I’ve just unplugged it.
Therefore I’m now listening to music without the Allocator for the first time since 3 months.
Sad, sad, sad.
It’s true, sometimes you can only figure out how a device works (or not) once it’s been removed.
The sound has drastically changed, for the worse. it was feeding just the Innuos Statement, the Tempus switch and the PSU powering my router. Nonetheless the impact is easily audible, again for the worse. The magic is gone. Less realism, less accuracy, less focus and separation.
All at once a step down, like a “hifi” sound vs the previous organic and vibrant one.
Never thought the Allocator could have such a great impact, I guessed GRID and EMI were the secret sauce. I was wrong.
Hope my new unit arrives soon!

It really is noticeable when you remove these devices. You’re getting the allocator Max What did you notice different from the Allocator
I hope I understand your question correctly and it's about the effect of the GIGA CANCELING technology on sensitive people who react to RFI with health problems. I had already addressed a similar question in post #421.
The Schnerzinger GIGA CANCELING technology reduces the interference radiation in the room. Schnerzinger offers an interesting article on this topic on its website under FAQ, category Protectors, fourth point „What differentiates SCHNERZINGER GIGA CANCELING interfering fields elimination from atmospheric, energetically informed electrosmog products?”
I once learned from Schnerzinger that there are even customers who have bought a Schnerzinger Piccolo protector especially for their bedroom because it improves their sleep.
By the way, I am not aware of any relevant health experiences of my own. There may also be a physical effect on me, but it probably takes place below my conscious level.
In any case, I feel very comfortable in my room, in which there are at least 15 Schnerzinger antennas.

As soon as I receive my new Allocator (first week of March hopefully), I’ll be able to figure out if/how the Max version (I had in use until today) is superior in fact.
Now I’m just missing it…
But is the new Allocator the Max. Do they look the same or what is different I think you said a few months ago better capacitors
If you use the word „capacitor“ in connection with Schnerzinger, the units stop working ;-) you won’t find one there
I found there’s something written about the Allocator max and differences if you let your tablet translate:

But Gidon will know I guess. The text makes no complete sense to me as it’s not clear which products exactly it compares.

.....but I do remember Luca did post what the difference between the two units is
I was told that the Allocator Max “ALMA” sports a (fixed) cable of the highest Schnerzinger level, I suppose Resolution HC 5. That should be considered if intended for feeding power hungry components. While the Allocator “ALLA” sports a high quality cable, the second top notch line, I suppose Resolution HC 3. Therefore ideal for sources or less heavy amplification.

Schnerzinger manufactures its cables in different quality levels. In the current Resolution Line, these are usually called one, two, three and five. The Allocator is available in two quality levels, the higher one is called MAX.
In the case of its first generations of cables, Schnerzinger had described in more detail on its website what the differences between the different quality levels are, but these details are no longer given in the current series. However, it is probably still a matter of a large number of certain complex treatment procedures. For example, with the more expensive cables, these steps are performed over a longer period of time or over a higher number of repeat cycles, resulting in even better results. Some steps can take several weeks or even months. Sometimes the higher-quality cable versions are a little thicker, but it doesn't have to be that way. The differences caused by the treatments cannot be seen on the finished product (except via the label).
It is reasonable to assume that the difference between Allocator and Allocator Max concerns the overall quality. Whether the supply cable is also different remains to be seen.

You are the closer font to Schnerzinger (and the veteran of their products), thanks for sharing more infos with us. Do you know if I’m correct (just my speculation) about the type of line version of the fixed cord that comes with both the Allocator Max ALMA and Allocator ALLA?
I had here for a while both the Resolution 2 and Resolution HC 2 power cords, together with an Allocator Max so I’m pretty sure that its fixed cable is thicker, can’t say if Resolution 3 or 5 though.

I don't know and I don't want to rob you of any illusions. But I find it hard to believe that it's a Resolution 3 or 5. Because the Resolution 3 is already an extremely good cable and alone more expensive than the allocator including supply cable.
According to the Schnerzinger website, the supply cable supports the HC (high current) function and probably also the "bidirectional barrier". But other than that, I suspect that the quality of the allocator itself and the power cables to the devices are more important. From the point of view of a hi-fi device, these "last 2 meters" are actually the "first 2 meters" that the device sees and are therefore decisive.

I'm afraid you're right, it makes sense indeed.
I'm looking forward to having Allocator back on my system so I can also compare it to the Allocator Max I've been using lately. Just a couple more weeks.
