PS Audio Noise Harvester

Hi Willster:

Thanks for your post. While I heard calmer HF I did actually here more and better HF that was not simply rolled off in any way to my ear. In one of my reference recordings a soprano background vocal that is not close mic'd is easier to hear overall and the highest range of her voice is more present. Cymbals and other things HF are easier to hear and more accurate and have more of their highest harmonics audible. Whatever the Harvesters are doing is fine with me.

I bought three and I am stunned! I already use a P300 on my sources that I would never do without to clean their AC. I have a Richard Gray 600 to benefit the high usage gear (my two amps) I wasn't sure they would help much. I plugged all three into the outlet my gear uses which is the closest one to my breaker panel. They didn't blink much until I started turning on my gear. As I turned on each piece the harvesters blinked more rapidly. It does say on their site that gear adds noise back into the line. Well, I put on my three favorite reference recordings and proceeded to be awed.......The little annoying silibance in vocals-gone! HF had a much more relaxed sound and was more present and easier to hear. The bass character improved greatly. I have heard other things increase and decrease LF output like power cords and so on but the quality of my bass got so much better and more detailed. Small improvement in image and just a much smoother overall presentation. A little more dynamic as well heard mostly in "bass control".... Me very happy.

Gear:
Grado/Rabco/Thorens 125/YSAudio Concerto Plus/Tele 12AX7's
Trivista SACD
Placette Passive
CJ MF 2100
CJ MF 2500
3 speaker choices

I'm an iso fan but didn't realize how much gear piece #1 was affecting all the others and so on until now with the recent harvester tests. I have big CJ power amps that would need fairly hefty ISO's. Getting one for my P-300 which feeds my sources and passive pre (control aspect) and then one for each power amp would be nice. I would need three total. What tweaks are you doing to them? It would cost a good bit, have you tried harvesters vs ISO's or with ISO's? Do you like the double philosphy in that if you draw X current get an ISO that is rated at 2X? Thanks in advance! Nice post. And yes most of my noise is coming from my gear, it is not already in my line!
