Time to replace Tice Solo?

Hi Rockyboy

What is prompting the change in power conditioning? Is it just the age of the unit or something else? I have Tice Power Blocks still in my system and they work for me. What is your budget for the new power conditioner? A friend of mine had Tice stuff and went with Richard Gray gear.

Good luck with the search.

Power conditioners do have a lifespan of about 10 years.
I would think it's time to move on.

If I replace, it will be after first of year as I just bought new speaker cables and cartridge. But I first need to determine if newer units will "outperform" the Tice. My question to the community is ....will I hear sonic improvements in my system by replacing the Tice with, say, a Shunyata or Richard Gray conditioner? BTW the Richard Gray units appear to be less expensive than those from Shunyata

Boy, I'd go real slow on tossing the Tice! If you look at my system you will see that I highly value the Tice Solo! ;)

Actually, I don't use it on audio, only HT setup. I have found over many years that power conditioning/regenerating tends to take away from the sound as much as it supposedly enhances. :(
