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 decided to order a second Tai Hang. My plan is to plug my First Watt SIT4, Pass Labs XP20 and ifi iCan Pro headphone amp into it. Currently, I have the preamp plugged into Tai Hang #1 along with streamer, DDC and Dac. When I move the preamp to Tai Hang #2 I’ll plug the router in its place. 
I’ll report my findings in a few weeks and compare the Tai Hang to an original Audience AR 2P that the SIT4 and iCan Pro are plugged into now.

Just got tai hang. Got it to plug in domestic computer network devices such as NAS WiFi router and network switched to improve the sound as my synology ds720+ Nas served music and runs lyrion server. Wow. This thing is built like a vault. Really nice. Sounds incredible. Didn't know it would make this much of difference. Music sounds so natural, spreads apart, relaxed. Was thinking about replacing the holo red streamer to much more expensive one but nah. I don't need that for now. This is good enough for my ears. Everyone go get one and try it out.

I just received my second Tai Hang. I plugged my amp and preamp into this unit with my digital front end in the other unit. It lowered the noise floor beyond the Audience AR2P. The soundstage is now pinpoint accurate and it seemed to extend the frequencies in both directions. It also enhanced clarity and coherence. 
I am very happy with these!

I sold my Puritan Audio Laboratory PMS 156 Power Conditioner and Puritan Audio Laboratory Ultimate Power Cord and pulled the trigger on a Vinshine X Kinki Studio, TheTai Hang power enhancer. I have a spare 聖HIJIRI Nagomi power cord and was wondering if anyone has used these two together and if so, how did they sound together? 

I have a 聖HIJIRI Nagomi power cord with my LTA Microzotl MZ3 integrated/preamp and the synergy is/was outstanding even from first plugin. The LTA Microzotl MZ3 is tube based and I was surprised at the noticeable increase in gain along with all the many other sound qualities that have been discussed about the 聖HIJIRI Nagomi power cord.

I had a full loom of Nagomi PC a few years back on my Dac and Tube Pre which sounded very good but keep in mind those cables are tuned in the midrange region and does not have the tight deep bass impact you would want on a conditioner.
