The FULL REVIEW: Inakustik’s AC-3500p power station and LS-4004 Speaker Cables


The Inakustik AC-3500P power station and LS-4004 Air speaker cables could be the Valedictorians of Power conditioners and Loudspeaker Cables!  Howard Milstein disseminates them and takes a serious look as to why!

Being a reviewer and commentator within this illustrious, though maybe sometimes, laborious hobby, I’m fortunate enough to be able to listen to some of the most demanding and exquisite audio components produced by some of the finest designers in the “high-end” community. Unfortunately, sometimes this can take its toll on the amount of time I spend listening to music.!

On the other hand, when new products are presented for me to evaluate and listen to, one usually finds that the time and effort spent was well worth the awards and satisfaction we may have gained in the process.

A few months ago, The Inakustik AC-3500P power station and LS-4004 Air Reference speaker cables were given a short preview in the Sound Advocate after having been immensely impressed from their initial auditioning within only a few weeks of introducing them into my system for testing.

As promised then, here is a full review of these 2 consummate audiophile products. I will outline some of their technical aspects while interpolating the various audible listening impressions I have perceived in the few months I’ve had the AC-3500P power station and LS-4004 Air loudspeaker cables installed in my system. If you would like to read more specifics about Inakustik’s background and products, please see the above link of my preview or at the Inakustik website.

You should post pictures of the insides of the unit.
There is one very small circuit board inside a big heavy empty metal box.

@ozzy ,While what you say is correct, this conditioner improved the SQ in my system. And the change was not subtle. I am not a reviewer, but I am super impressed by the performance of this unit. Just because it does not use 100lb transformers, does not mean it cannot sound good. It uses a different technology to filter out noise.
If you want to see the pics, I had posted a link of a review on the other Inakustik Power conditioner link, that has the internal pics. A 1960s computer was room sized. It does not mean it can beat a standard laptop from this day age. Same thing with cars. Tesla does not have the bulk of engine that regular cars have. Technology changes. I hope you get a chance to try it in your system before judging it.
milpai,

Yes thanks.
It just seems to me that the unit could have been made with a IEC and a single duplex outlet. That way, it could be placed before a power strip / other conditioner etc. and would be much smaller, lighter and hopefully much cheaper.
