Often a power conditioner will limit dynamic range with amplifiers and the soundstage will become very two dimensional and lean. There is a used Tara AD/6C here, and this model does not limit dynamic range. If you are satisifed with the results, then continue to use Lightspeed. I am a firm adherent to having everything feed through a power filter. I would add up the power requirements of all components and verify the sum does not exceed the Lightspeed's capacity. Good listening.
Pwr enhancer or straight from the wall?
I have heard that high current pwr amps sound better if they are pluged straight in from the wall. In fact when I had the Aragon 4004 this is what I did. Now going to tubes(Anthem amp1) I am wondering if going back to a pwr conditioner(lightspeed 3200) will keep the amp from doing all it can do. Do tube amps have the high current draw as solid state amps? Thanks in advance. (BTW I am currently using the amp in this mode and do not hear any ill effects.)
