I'm very glad to hear that your friend is enjoying the LAN iSilencer! I hope the iPower X brings just as much, if not more, improvement to the system of his. Do you own any iFi gear yourself?
I have 3 items from IFi. The noise harvester and two iFi Power Elite PS's. The noise harvester did not make any discernible difference (
my system and a friend's system) and I spent so much on other aspects of my streaming setup over the last 3 months that I didn't feel like forking out another couple of grand or three for PC's, more DC cables and LPS's......so I got two of the Extremes.
I saw some measurements on the Extreme (
compared to some LPS's) and was impressed with what I saw. So, I bought them until I had some extra funds to get the LPS's and associated gear. Truth be told, I really don't feel the need to upgrade them with everything else I have in the streaming setup. Perhaps one day but I was pleasantly surprised and quite impressed with how quiet they actually were. I wouldn't even bother with trying anything else in their spot if I wasn't constantly pushing the envelope to extract everything possible.
My streaming setup is as follows, with the exception that I have moved the Zero Zone LPS to the modem and the Elite now powers the EtherREGEN;
