Review: Balanced Power Technology BPT 2.5 AC filter


Category: Accessories

Acquired this unit a few weeks ago, and let me simply say it has truly been the icing on the cake in getting my system dialed in properly. Noise floor significantly lowered; bass tighter; fuller; AND more rythmic. Additional improvements in clarity; and mids just became more fully flushed out. All of this with NO downsides.

Caveat- I am in a condo and do not have the luxury of dedicated lines. BPT offers several upgrades- Bybees; special internal wiring; an excellent Litz L9 PC upgraded PC for the unit- I went for all of these and didn't look back. Honestly, I don't 'gush' about something unless I think it is truly phenomenal. For once, I agree with the excellent reviews on this piece- not that that matters in this case, but it's a validation that I concur with. I feel BPT really has something here...

Sutts,
Have you brought the BPT over to Israel's to get his input? Just curious?
Thanks for the links Larry. I will have to do some searches through the threads- there was a good one a couple o' months back where several outlets were compared by someone whom had tried a lot of them.
See if Albertporter has any left to sell. (OR)

These are the ones I thought of first. There are other good ones out there besides the Hubbell's (cryo'd) like the Acme Silver plated cryo'd, or the non-cryo'd Wattgate 381 or the Furutech.

I hope this helps!
Hi Larry- thanks for the response. Yah- re: the outlets, I guess I just don't know which one is the best- any ideas??
Sutts,
I’m glad you found what works best for you to dial your system into your requirements :-).
If you have not done so yet, (or if your BPT 2.5 unit does not have them) you ought to consider cryogenically treated AC outlets in your wall including the BPT 2.5.
Best regards,
