Hi there! Power Conditioners...well. it all depends on the quality of your mains supply in the first place. I suggest you find a sympathetic dealer or a sale/return arrangement and try it. However, IME you need to spend a few days with these devices - the quality of the mains can be very time dependant - it all revolves around what else is on your supply (nearby industry for example). I find my system sounds slightly more engaging at 3am... (unfortunately, the rest of the household disagrees!) I didn't know that the ground loop disappears with the DAC in the chain... that opens a whole new can of worms. That might exonerate the amp, in which case I'm lost (these things are very hard to diagnose by remote!) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40112 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
