CH Acoustic X-20 PC vs Less Loss DEPC Reference PC

Hi Chuck,
Yes I do.

Chuck, anything is possible please send me a private email and/or use the Audiogon mailing system to set something up.
My MBL CDP has been sent out for repair for the last four months (still waiting for its return).
8' speaker cables are required for either system.
1/M interconnects work either RCA or XLR.
Let me know?

Thanks Metralla.
I agree poor repair service for a unit that is out of warranty.
I made an error and I want to correct it:
I sent this unit to the MBL official repair service in Bridgeport CT. I was told
that I'd have to wait a while because they handle current warranty work first.
Was made to sound like it would be two months. I rechecked my dates, it's
been 6 MONTHS!
The necessary repair is for the Phillips Drive to be replaced.
All I can say is the MBL 1531 CDP is an awesome unit I want back in my
system.

Unfortunately had to pass on the demo.

John,
I find them all to sound very good and I can't really choose one over the other. Sounds like I'm being vague and noncommittal but I'm not trying to. I truly believe it has something to do with my twin isolation transformers (5 KVA/each) in my power filtration system.

I received one CT-1 PC a few days ago. After doing some extended listening I have reached the following conclusions (this will be short and to the point)
In the past, I was not sure what I heard, but I'm now ready to commit:

1) The CT-1 PC outperforms the other power cords I own on my CDP and Preamp. I have not tried it yet on my amp.

2) The CT-1 Ultimate is better then the CT-1 PC.

3) The PC effect is even better when I have the CT-1U PC on my CDP and the CT-1 PC on my preamp.

4) I’m having a hard time coming up with the words to describe this so feel free to add your own personal thoughts but for me I think I hear is the HFC sound: all the music is more dynamic in a more natural sounding presentation.

5) One has to pay a lot to receive a tad bit more improvement, but I really like what I’m hearing ;-)!

John,
I did notice greater improvement when using the HF power cords on the front end vs. my amp in my main system. With my integrated the improvement was greater.
I have read many comments from audiophiles that use the HF power cords and they have said to use the PC on your power conditioner first. My power filtration system works differently without a power cord so I can't say from personal experience.
I totally agree with your plan and I do find it difficult with HFC products trying to make a change to A/B test, even when leaving the HF product on the component for a week or more due to the residual magnetic effect or whatever it is that happens when the HFC comes off.
