I'm not familiar with panamax but have tried PS audio's quad running from a PS auidio wall receptacle. That was a nice improvement (increased space between instruments mostly) to the adcom (really dating myself here) conditioner. The only thing I have running through the PS audio quad right now is my sub.The rest of the system is running through an "ExactPower" transformer. You may want to research that to see if it would work for you as they come up occasionally on audiogon. The biggest improvement the exactpower made was with the digital portion of my system. Didn't hear much of a difference with vinyl. Again those improvements were mostly within the soundstage by haze reduction.
Power Supplies & Performance
Howdy, folks. I’ve read in some posts here-and-there that a power supply can affect the performance of a system, and I was hoping to get some feedback from those of you ’in-the-know’.
My system equipment is below. Can any of you comment about how much, and what sort of, improvement (if any), I might have by removing the Panamax conditioner? My worry is that we have a fair number of power outages in my area, so I don’t want to place the equipment at risk. But if it’s going to make a dramatic improvement, it might be worth considering.
