Torus power vs the competition

@audiotroy curious if you can share more details/hand on experiences on the Isotek Evo 3 products and what make you feel they are so special over other competitions in real usage?

Hello hicr49 

Over the years we have tried many different power conditioners, and they have all changed the sound some were really impressive.

So far in the shop we have the Isotek Aqurius, and the Sigmas as well as the Synchro power cords these are in our All Purpose room with the Synchro being also used in our Reference Room with an Audiomagic conditioner.

The thing which makes the Isotek products so good is that they make everything sound more focused with greater micro dynamic swings the soundstage is also bigger. 

It sounds like you turned up the volume and the sound is more engaging.

Years ago with some of the other conditioners your top end could be greatly softened which may or may not have been a good thing.

The Syncho power cable is really impressive, it is an active power cable which has a DC blocking filter it made everything that was good even more dramatic. A syncho is often plugged into the conditioner and then into the world so it is kind of like a pre conditioner/dc blocker. 

We added a Syncho to our Audio Magic and again same difference.

The Isotek units offer isolation so the digital doesn't pollute the analog circuits. 

We have tried so far the AQ 7000, the Audience TS 6 with the upgraded cord, the Running Springs line to name a few as well as the Isotek units.

The Sigmas with an Synchro will take a system to another level.

So what happened with the Torus, Dave?

For those of us that use balanced conditioners, there's no turning back.

I have a Torus RM20. It gives me a constant 120V. This than feeds my 'balanced' toriods. One BPT, two very old 2KV plitron medical transformers. I've wired the plitrons to give +60V on the hot, and -60V on the neutral. The BPT does it in a contained unit.

Search the internet for 'Felicia balanced DIY conditioner'. All who have done it swear by it.

Toroids develop a magnetic field. They in fact produce more current than the wall. Why some people think it diminishes transients and impact, is because it removes noise. It takes time for the brain to realize it's the noise floor which has been lowered, and not the music.

Completely agree with you on realizing what it did to my system.  Once I got my isolation transformer installed into my system, something had changed in the sound, and it took me a day to realize all the music was there minus the noise.  There is no turning back.
