TAD Reference One is in the house........

Yes please do, especially the changes as you are noticing them.

Congratulations on your setup, it looks fantastic, combo may sound brilliant too and you are still opitimising it. They definitely know how to get things done in Sweden!

Thanks for the congratulations

I'll try to remember to write down any changes I hear and write about those here too.

In Sweden we have a long and dark winter so it is ideal to keep on with this hobby. Therefore, there is also time to try to optimize their system with all sorts of tweaks and matching electronics. I think I've come a long way, but there's always something to do if you want.

I listen to music and not on the setup, not often anyway, but of course, it happens that I hear that I'd like to have more of it or less of something else.
I now think that it is the recording that is the limitation on how good it sounds and not my setup, but of course it is possible to optimize more but I must have something to do next winter too

"A bad recording can also touch me so I get goose bumps and even to tears, then it is usually linked to memories"

byZan, what PC are you currently using to connect P10 to wall? Make sure it's of good gauge/high current capability ones, you don't want to suffocate its performance.
IME, reasonably cheap solution is to just get PSA AC12 which I found to work well with their power re-generators - tonally well balanced and full sounding, albeit could be said to be a tad bit over to the warm/dark smooth side of neutral - similar to Zitron Anaconda. A trait which could mostly be a welcome thing as long as you don't use too many. Unless of course you want to purposefully reduce lots of brightness/etch or put more body/weight in your system. Keep us posted.

You see in my signature which PC I use and the cables in the whole setup. I have previously tried other cables of various brands but then thought that they did not fit in properly.
Today I have a high resolution audio that will not tip over and become too analytical, it is still warm and cuddly but with lots of dynamics, detail, micro and mackro, a black background, large soundstage in all directions so I find currently no need for to test other PC. But in this hobby, one should never say never

byZan, your equipment is most impressive. I bet it sounds awesome!

[bvdiman]

Ok.. I'm sure system is sounding good.
Just wondering which PC you are using for wall into P10.
As you said this is first ac regenerator unit, so I assumed you have to add a power cord.
Enjoy!

Thanks chessman

I think it starts to sound the way I want to do a few things to the digital side then enough is enough

Maybe I misunderstand you?

But do you mean that PSA AC12 would do a better job than my Furutech?

Was previously just curious/asking what cord are you using into the P10.
Sure, saw your Signature, but there's no indication as to which PC is used for what, hence my question.

*If using Furutech Alpha 3 ~probably yes. If Furutech Powerflux ~most likely not. Best way is to try.

[byZan]

Try and error is a good method to get more experience and I'll try a different cable when the opportunity arises.

Now I have listened for a few days and since I do not think the P10 need some time in order to perform better , I can already tell you how I thought it was .

Exciting it was when you hit start it, expectations were high after so much praise has been written about the power purification. The first was that in the display see what it does with the incoming tide and see the differences and the stable power it delivers , varies only a few tenths up and down . THD is reduced by by between 1-1.5% . One can also see how much power is taken out and some other stuff too.

Audibility of what it does then? In this context, not nearly as much as some friends experienced when they switched their IsoTek Super Titan.

What I could hear directly the formerly black ( quieter) the background was a little blacker , hmm ? Black 's black but you know enough anyway .
Then as I listened further , I discovered that all elements received a small little improvement in purity and detail.
The sound image I had before ( which was great) I did not think I could get bigger and I did not get either, iofs so I can turn out the speakers a little more but then I lose other things I do not want to be without.

So the sum of this then :

Was it worth the money - certainly , since I bought it with a special price .
Was what I thought then - well, I did not expect much but just the ones I have previously heard of others and it lived up to it .
I also think it feels good to all the electronics I have plugged in the hopefully feel good to be fed a steady stream .
I also believe that this type of product yield different results depending on what is put into it.

Now I'm not no technology guru, so unfortunately I can not answer complicated technical issues, but other issues I will happily answer .

Now I am waiting on some other things that will enter the system and there is a part that expectations are clearly larger than the P10 grade.

Hope that it will not be too long a wait - a week or two , maybe?

Now 240h on the meter and no difference since last
