    The best plug in filter ever!

    I tried the Telos Mini Quantum Resonator. I did not like it, so I sent it back. I honestly cannot say why it didn't work for me. Their larger unit looks super high quality, but is expensive, so I decided no. I have a Nordost QX4, QK1, QV2, an AddPower Wizard, a Puron, an iFi Purifier, and a...

    The best plug in filter ever!

    I have opened up several. Sometimes I am disgusted in what I find.

    The best plug in filter ever!

    I believe the noise is from the rectifiers drawing from the line, producing voltage ripples. EMR may come from CD players and such, which are supposed to meet FCC restrictions.

    The best plug in filter ever!

    I didn't want to hear that. I have one Corelli. I do like it very much. I had to turn the volume up a bit, because of the noise it took out. But the result is beautiful.

    The best plug in filter ever!

    I have a Muon Pro and some other devices including the Puron, Corelli, Nordost, etc. The Muon will work on the signal going through the LAN cables, but will not affect the operation of components. In contrast, the devices for the AC power, including power conditiones, will improve the operation...

    The best plug in filter ever!

    Now Nordost has the Q Sine and Q Wave. I have not yet tried those. Based on my experience so far, and valuable posts such as yours, I would guess either the whole system would benefit slightly, or that one component would benefit more than the rest.

    The best plug in filter ever!

    Yes, I have an iFi DC filter( Silencer), an iFi power strip with built in iPurifier, and a plug in iPurifier. They all work well and are similar in effectiveness as the Nordost QK1 and High Fidelity MC0.5 Helix. Each one of these devices produces a different effect on sound, and picture quality...

    Audio Note UK vs Audio Japan Sonic Differences

    Sorry for the late reply, but the room I saw was at the show in Los Angeles. IMO the room was too small for horn speakers, and just rotely putting silver cable in a system because you happen to make them does not guarantee good sound or synergy. I'm sure they have adjusted since then for shows...

    REL No. 31 and other REL subwoofers: fuses and power cords?

    So are you using Voodoo on the REL subs and the rest Cerious ? Can I ask which model ? Those companies make several versions. Thanks...

    REL No. 31 and other REL subwoofers: fuses and power cords?

    That's why most of us are here. We know the power cords make quite a significant difference and the difference can be an improvement. With that said, I've heard Tellurium Q makes a good sounding power cord for subwoofers. I'm surprised not to see more pairing with REL, because both are made in...

    Let us know the results after you finish the cables.

    REL No. 31 and other REL subwoofers: fuses and power cords?

    Do you like the Furutech power cords over the Cardas on the subwoofers ?

    Audio Note UK vs Audio Japan Sonic Differences

    Not similar. AN Japan uses lots of silver and horn speakers. I heard them about 6 years ago at an audio show. One of the worst rooms I have ever heard. In your face, projected, poor imaging and soundstage, and upper midrange glare. And the bass was not integrated. I don't know if they have...

    Classification of some top SS amps (brands)

    In other words, any really good solid state amplifier will sound great in that set up. Final tuning is done with what you listed above.

    Classification of some top SS amps (brands)

    I don't know who that would be. Burmester components, particularly the amplifiers are unmistakably solid state in sound character. I recommended them to a friend about a year ago. He does not like tube amps or the tube rolling, etc. So I told him Burmester is one of the very best sounding solid...
