Keces BP5000 Balanced Power Transformer?

I have option for a deal on the Keces. Is it a good conditioner?

@mitchb I believe you will be fine going with the Keces. Keces is a power centric / focused company, therefore very little downside and risk.

It’s also unlikely you will elicit feedback from an actual owner of the BP5000.

I have two of their P8 (ultra low noise linear power supply) units and they do their job exceedingly well.

As you know, the only way to find out is to try it out and compare with your Hydras. My gut feel is you will be surprised and happy with the Keces.

Good luck and let us know what your results are? - David.

I have the Keces P8 DC LPS which is a quality piece of gear and performs very well so I have high confidence in the Keces products.  Regarding the balance power transformer, I use multiple 'small' balanced power transformers to provide more component to component and digital to analog device isolation with very good results.  The BP5000 appears to have two separate isolated 600VA secondary winding transformer AC outputs which should provide similar isolation capability.  My units are individual 500VA balanced transformers so there may be some net difference but the isolation capability of the BP5000 is a strong point.  In my experience, sometimes high power amplifiers do better straight from the wall than with a balanced transformer based conditioner and, if so in your case, your other devices will very likely benefit at least IMHO.  Either way and regardless you might look into taking the Hydra 2 out of the equation and depending on how the BP5000 does withe your amp, replace the Hydra with something like the Venom Defender standalone plugged into the same outlet.  The Hydra 2 has something similar (albeit I'm guessing an earlier design) inside the box along with a MOV for surge protection.  Eliminating an extra power cord for the Hydra 2 and the resulting extra AC connections alone will be of benefit.  Net net is I'd try the BP5000 if it was my call.  I hope this helps and good luck with your decision.

I’ve put in an order for the new replacement for the Keces BP5000. There is supposed to be a new and improved unit coming out in April and I’m in for one. I’m very excited. In the very worst case scenario I will just put back my Hydra 2 and Hydra 6 as they are in place currently. 

@mitchb   That's great. Looking forward to hearing back on how it works out for you.
