New filter/regenerator

Barbapapa, would you say the Firewall is a good value with a price of 5k? Do you think they are making a little profit out of a wood box? What is in it that makes it 5 grand? 5k today seems like 10k if you know what I mean. I also know that just adding dedicated lines with Oyaide outlets can make a big improvement and cost on average 1k. Even two dedicated lines and four outlets may only set you back 1k. With that being said the Firewall still could prove to be a revelation and only time will tell. I do know off another agoner who has had some well known conditioners and said the Firewall is far better. He also has a top notch system.

Nsgarch, how do you feel about isolation transformers or power converters all with regulation built into them. I have a couple of Kleen Line transformer from Electronic Specialists and they have been working great. This was suggested to me by another audiophile who has been doing electronics for 25 years or more. I use the KLR series transformers. This same audiphile also uses the EP15. I was surprised that the amps were not robbed of transient dynamics and even more surprised how much better the cdp sounded through the transformer. Obviously I hide these units due to the fact they are not audiophilish. Plasma tv's also love these. A pretty box with an IEC would be nice.

Nsgarch, thanks for the response. Now I feel better knowing I am not just hearing things. My mind would tell me these transformers should not work becasue they are not name branded in audio. I also have A SVC 1000 voltage converter but it has only one outlet. It comes with regulation as well but I swear on the cdp this sounds better than the KLR. I will have to give the EP15 a try but the other gent who uses both said one is convenient and looks a whole lot better but the transformers do a great job too. I was curious about all of this so I had to give them a try. Glad I did and you obviously have been doing this along time and know what you are talking about. You will be helping others no doubt. You also said smoothing out the AC waveform and that is exactly what I am hearing on the high frequencies. Just enough without losing detail. The hash has disappeared in a good way. I cannot stress enough about what clean power really does.

Nsgarch, you are a world of knowledge and have a lot of experience. Take notes people...I have run into guys regarding tubes and some have knowledge and others have major league experience. This guy has both.

Clio, the EP15 can be modified as well.

One problem with the Lessloss Firewall as far as I know is you can't demo one. Last I heard they were not offering any kind of in home trial for this unit. Most of us here won't spend 5k on a power conditioner unless they can try it at home first. It does look like Barbapapa took a chance and it did pay off for that person. So if you have that kind of money to throw around then why not give it a try?

A firewall already up for sale? For almost 2k less than the retail. A guy I know just bought the Tripp Lite hospital grade 1000 watt isolation transformer and said it was the best $300 he has ever spent. Does not hum and is not hot to the touch.

Looks like Synergistic Research may take some thunder away from the Lessloss Firewall. The build on the SR PowerCell looks stellar. An all acrylic cabinet is great for resonation control and probably looks fantastic.

If someone can not afford the better power enhancers and still wants clean power I would look at the Tripp Lite hospital grade isolation transformers. The 1000 watt version weighs 60lbs is quiet and does not get hot. $300 is a sweet affordable deal. Just a suggestion. I also have a Kleen Line with regulation and it does get warm and neither are very pretty. They are very effective however.
Sure would like to try that SR PowerCell too though.
