Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???:

The Thingee FX2 is an amazing device, incredible performance equalling PCs at a much higher cost. IMO, the Xoe model has a blacker background and reveals more inner detail in the music.

My Thingee never smelled once out of the box. If it has an odor, leave it to air out.  Anyway, it will always live behind your rack.

@sunnyjim, did you buy the Thingee FX2 or the X0e model? I've owned both and noticed a lower noise floor, increased inner detail, and a more open sound. The X0e model increased the low-end detail.

The only time I noticed compressed dynamics was when my amp was plugged into the unit. For best results, only use the Thingee for low-current components.
For my amp, I use some of the BC power filters.

@sunnyjim
Even though BC states that an amp can use the Thingee w/o any sonic degradation, I have found that is not the case. Many manufacturers say to plug the amp into their PC’s, but other members’ have found that passive PC’s affect the sonics of the amp.

I have my Thingee FX2 X0e plugged into the wall, then a Furman power strip is connected. Low-current components are plugged in; preamp, CDP, tuner, TT. (Although in many cases digital should have it’s own line).

My amp is plugged into the wall and I am using (2) BC 86 mk5 filters which plug into the same outlet. That way they clean the AC line and the amp does not run thru the filters. They really lowered the noise floor. They’re also known as Noisehounds.
BC also makes Sillycone Filters, which have higher filtering, but are more expensive.

You can contact Walt at TLP Audio if you have questions, but I like that my amp doesn’t plug into any conditioner or filter.

You're most welcome, nonoise. When I got my Thingee, I plugged everything into it, including my high-current amp, due to it being called a "non-current-limiting" device. Sure, the noise-floor was lower, but there was a loss of dynamics and "air."
   I knew to plug the amp back into the wall due to all the comments made by Agon members who had previously experienced this with power conditioners.

@sunnyjim,

Let me clarify what you said in the previous reply. I should plug my integrated amp into the wall, and not into FX-2. I should plug all other low current devices into the FX-2   ( Keep in my I am just using the standard 2 AC wall  outlet) . Therefore, there is no room to plug in either one or two of the BC 86MK5 filters (Why would I need two??).

Jim, I'll clarify my statement regarding the amp. In order to accommodate the BC86 filters, I'm now using a Furman power strip into the wall receptacle. Then the amp and filters plug into the strip.
I use 2 BC86 mk 5 filters because it is double the filtering. To my ears, it's like adding another power conditioner that doesn't restrict the sonics of the amp.

I got advice from Blue Circle before I made my purchase and 2 filters were recommended. The BC86's were very affordable and at that time they did not make the Sillycone Filters.

I wouldn't trust a multiple outlet adapter. It's build quality may not be as good as a duplex outlet and may not provide as good a connection. Can you provide a link of the device?

+1 lak. XOe is a significant upgrade.

I use a Furman power strip that does not restrict dynamics. To my ears it is transparent and does not affect sonics in any way.

I have a PLC Thingee FX2 with X0e add-on, 4 outlet
 about to go up for sale.
I’ve upgraded my power conditioning.

@jaybe , I did a major upgrade, moving up to an Equi=Core 1800. It's a balanced power unit; bought it used.
