Vinshine X Collaboration with Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer

What a surprise after installing the Taihang in my system,, in a word, amazing.  Stage depth clarity was amoung one of the first things I notice.  My system consists of tubes pre and power amps, with a digital and analog front end.  Tubes as we know exhibit a second harmonic noise distortion which is a given and something we live with as it’s our perception as being more musical.  Dirty power can add more nastiness to this by way of unfiltered AC.  With the addition of the Taihang it has made all the background information much more clearer.  My speakers are fairly high resolving so was able to take advantage of this additional gain the Taihang give me.  Leading edges from instruments started and stopped more precisely still retaining musicality. Black background noise seemed non existent as we like saying but in this case it really does without straining to not hear.  So clean power can do all this, seems to be!  Also will mention as in some cases experienced with power amps, I sensed no loss in dynamics or compression which is one of the biggest concerns when implementing such products.  This in my first day of listening.  So again I’ll go back to my original statement, amazing!   Alvin’s collaboration as he calls it, has some magic inside this beautifully crafted box.

I am anticipating the delivery of my Tai Hang that shipped 2 weeks after ordering. Does anyone have recommendations for a power cable from wall to Tai Hang?  
@wig are you still using the Furutech DPS 4.1? Have you tried any other power cables for comparison? I will be using it for Pass Labs XP 20, Sonore UltraRendu, Denafrips Gaia DDC and Terminator Plus. I am going to use a Purist Audio Design Dominus Rev C to start out which is a warmer, smoother cable and compare with a Harmonic Technology Magic Ref which has silver and copper wire that is more detailed. I’ll post my findings after burn in and comparisons.

@rrboogie  You might also consider Snake River Audio as their PCs get consistently glowing reviews and they offer a free trial (less return shipping and card fees I believe).  Just another option FWIW, and best of luck.

I have tried a plethora of PC in excess of $3K and in my system Furutech DPS just sounded better; cleaner with a  touch of warmth but they excells is laying out a very convincing soundstage.

At @wig ’s recommendation, I too am using the Furutech DPs 4.1 with NCF50 plugs. I never compared it to anything else on the TaiHang. I have 4 Snake River Audio Signature Series  PC’s and 1 Cottonmouth connected to all my other components. SRA is having a 25% off sale right now and he also has a cpl cords on demo closeout.
